GREENBURGH, N.Y. – There’s been a lot of talk in the Rangers locker room lately about next year. Talk, as in, “these games we’re playing now are important for next year.’’
But Chris Kreider isn’t talking about next year.
“We’ve got 10 games left,’’ Kreider said after the Rangers’ practice Monday. “Who knows? Win all 10, 89 points might get us in a wild card spot.’’
He said that with a smile, knowing how unlikely a premise that is. Yet Kreider at least seemed to be in a better mood than he has been of late.
