Ducks' Chris Kreider: Still out Saturday
Rotowire
Kreider (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Kings, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Ducks' Chris Kreider: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Kreider (illness) won't be in the lineup Friday versus the Kings, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Kreider was trending towards the doubtful side of a game-time decision after missing Friday's morning skate, and he'll end up missing a contest. The 34-year-old winger has logged three points over his last five games. Kreider's likely questionable at best to suit up in Saturday's home rematch against the Kings.

Ducks' Chris Kreider: Game-time call Friday
Rotowire
Kreider is set to be a game-time decision Friday versus Los Angeles because of an illness, per Patrick Present of The Hockey News.
Kreider has 15 goals and 25 points in 42 appearances in 2025-26. If Kreider can't play Friday, then Jeffrey Viel might make his Ducks debut. Viel was acquired from Boston on Friday in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick. Anaheim might also dress seven defensemen and 11 forwards if Viel isn't able to play so soon after being traded. If the Ducks go with seven blueliners, then Ian Moore, who is otherwise projected to be a healthy scratch, will remain in the lineup.

Ducks' Chris Kreider: Tallies in Monday's loss
Rotowire
Kreider scored a goal in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Kreider opened the scoring at 6:33 of the first period, but the Capitals had the next five tallies. That was too much for the Ducks to overcome. Kreider had been ice-cold entering Monday, going 15 games without a goal and adding just three assists in that span. The veteran winger is now at 14 goals, nine assists, 76 shots on net, 34 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 38 appearances. His shooting percentage is still a lofty 18.4 percent -- it was 26.1 percent at the end of November before his December skid.

Ducks' Chris Kreider: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Kreider scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Kreider has scored in three straight games and has gotten on the scoresheet in four consecutive outings. The 34-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 19 points, 48 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 22 appearances. Kreider's 27.1 shooting percentage is a bit of a red flag, but he's always been fairly efficient with his chances, so any regression is unlikely to be steep. Playing in an elite offense in a top-six role should give him enough volume to remain productive.

The 34-year-old winger is up to 10 goals, three helpers, 33 shots on net, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 13 appearances.
