David Quinn wouldn’t guess at any kind of timetable for the return of Chris Kreider after the Rangers’ first-line left wing and emotional leader suffered a broken left foot in the first period of Friday’s 5-2 road loss to the Flyers.
But it is safe to say Kreider likely won’t be in the lineup Sunday afternoon when the Rangers host the Flyers at the Garden in the back end of the home-and-home.
The Rangers did not practice Saturday, and did not issue an update on Kreider. Assuming the standard 4-6 week timeline for a broken foot, however, Kreider would likely be out for at least the rest of the regular season, which ends in five weeks.
