As the New York Rangers get set to host the league’s best team the Bruins, it appears Chris Kreider is ready to return.
“He’s only been an out a week,” Gerard Gallant told the press after practice on Wednesday. “Hopefully, I’ll find out today he’s ready to go. He looked good today, skated hard… We like our team a lot better when he’s there.”
Kreider, 31, was injured on a shoulder-to-shoulder check by Marcus Foligno in the Rangers 4-3 shootout win over the Minnesota Wild last week. He’s missed three games with an upper-body injury.
