Chris Kreider Out A Month

[Johnnydollaz89]

Chris Kreider expected to be out of NYR lineup for extended period: at least a month, maybe much longer. Hand injury, possibly broken bone.

Should give JT Miller a chance to shine tho.

I'm assuming he will be called up, either him or Haggerty may come into the lineup. Or they'll just be stupid and keep Dorsett in and re-insert Carcillo in, meaning one of them will skate on line 3, essentially with Hags and Richards. This is gonna be a mess. But I really hope they just play Miller and give him time on Stepan's wing.

Miller has a lot of Kreider's attributes, seems like the perfect replacement to me. IDK tho, maybe they do something different, just seems like the obvious solution to me

I hope it's Miller, really like what be brings to the ice. Good Center and can play the Wing, getting better at becoming a 2-way player.

Ugh, that's really bad news. Feel bad for him, really felt this was his breakout season.

I'm hoping McKenzie was wrong, Rangers still haven't reported it

True, it's still in Rumorville right now.

He will miss at least 5 games, thus far

Its too bad he is out having ST. Louis in the line up is really hurting us when Krieder comes back we need to put STL in the owners box.
