Chris Kreider News: Finishes on upswing

Kreider had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Kreider made it 2-0 at 4:02 of the third period with a shot over Jonas Johansson's glove from between the circles. He finished the season with back-to-back two-point games, but they were his first since Oct. 19. Kreider finished the season with 22 goals and eight assists in 68 games in 2024-25. He turns 34 on April 30, and he has two years left on his seven-year, $45.5 million contract that includes a 15-team no-trade list. The Rangers will undoubtedly kick the tires on a potential deal for Kreider, especially with limited cap space and contracts due to K'Andre Miller and Will Cuylle. It remains to be seen if the winger can rebound -- his 22 goals this year are a far cry from his last three seasons of 52, 36 and 39, respectively.
