Chris Kreider was diagnosed with a blood clot in his right arm a few days ago. Of course, this was a shocking blow to the New York Rangers, as they were told he would miss 6-8 weeks of game time. Now it’s up to Vinni Lettieri to take on a big role.

Before we analyze his role with the Rangers, we’ll take a look at what he’s done down in Hartford this season.
