News like this is never a good thing, as the Rangers desperately need all the help they can get on the ice and losing a valuable player like Kreider is never good.
Along with this troubling news, it was appears that rookie forward Brett Berard will be slotting in for Kreider after being recalled from the AHL on Sunday.
