Kreider pocketed two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
The long-time Ranger has had a strong start to his first season with Montreal, collecting a goal and four points in three games while dishing seven hits. Kreider is skating alongside Nick Suzuki at even strength and manning the top power-play unit, a role that will give the 35-year-old every chance to reach the 20-goal plateau for a ninth straight season.
