NEW YORK -- Rangers forward Chris Kreider scored his 50th goal of the season Tuesday night, becoming only the fourth player in team history to do so.
Kreider, in his 10th season in the NHL, scored with goaltender Igor Shesterkin pulled during a 4-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in a battle of the top two teams in the Metropolitan Division.
Kreider, who plays on New York's top line and is a fixture in front of the net during the power play, is in good position to set the franchise's all-time single-season record.
