Kreider has come into this season with an upgraded style of play. How has this change benefited the New York Rangers?
When drafted out of Boston College with the 19th overall selection in the 2009 NHL Draft, Chris Kreider was given very high expectations by the New York Rangers.
Almost right away, Kreider showed signs of becoming a star, which gave the media the ability to assume that, given his size and strength, Kreider would consistently score 30-plus goals a season. This however, was not the case over the first two seasons of his career, where he scored 17 and 21 goals, respectively.
