Chris Kreider ‘real close’ to a return with clash against Bruins next

The New York Rangers need to get back their most lethal weapon in front of the net for their upcoming clash against the Boston Bruins.

Chris Kreider was injured against the Minnesota Wild last week on a shoulder-to-shoulder hit by Marcus Foligno. As he was leaving the ice, it was obvious his left arm appeared injured.

The team initially announced him as day-to-day with an upper-body injury and Gerard Gallant said, “it’s a short term thing.”

Short term amounted to him missing the next three games where the Rangers went 2-1-0 in his absence.
