Rangers' Chris Kreider: Tallies shortie in blowout loss
Chris Kreider scored a shorthanded goal and recorded four shots on goal in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.Kreider found the back of the net midway through the second period and evened things up at 3-3 with his goal, but the Blue Jackets would pull away for good after scoring four unanswered goals the rest of the way. The goal was Kreider's first point since returning from an upper-body injury that caused him to miss six games between Feb. 23 and March 5. Kreider has 18 goals and four assists across 50 games this season, so most of his value tends to comes from what he can do in front of the opposing goal.

Rangers' Chris Kreider: Tallies in blowout loss
Chris Kreider scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Sabres.Kreider has had a good February, with two goals and two assists over six NHL games as well as one goal across two appearances for Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 33-year-old winger is on the third line for now, but he's occasionally been reunited with Mika Zibanejad, and the two's chemistry has returned a bit after they struggled earlier in the season. There's likely no salvaging Kreider's stat line this year -- he's at 17 goals, four assists, 120 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-6 rating, but he's arguably been a little unlucky to shoot 14.2 percent with a slight dip in shot volume, as well as far less success than usual in setting up teammates.
