As the New York Rangers hit the ice for their morning skate on Monday morning, a noticeable player was not seen on the ice.
That young player being New York Rangers 33-year old veteran forward Chris Kreider.
This news was reported by several Rangers reporters this morning, all of them stating that Kreider is out with an upper-body injury and is listed day-to-day.

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.
