chris kreider

Per Brett Cyrgalis, forward Chris Kreider is out tonight against the Oilers, and is not traveling with the team. I’d venture a guess that since he’s not with the club, then he is not playing on Tuesday night in Vancouver either. Obviously this is not a good sign for the winger, who had finally seemed to find his stride and was on pace for a career year.

Kreider had missed time early in October with neck spasms. No more details are available aside from the standard “upper body injury” at the moment, but being sent back to get more tests is never a good sign. Could be a precaution, as neck/back spasms stink something fierce. More to come, obviously.

Oscar Lindberg will get back into the lineup while Kreider is out.
