Chris Kreider Lands On Inured Reserve With Reported Back Problems Being An Issue

The York Rangers have placed Chris Kreider on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.

This comes after he missed Sunday afternoon’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks and was just listed as day-to-day.

Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reported the belief for weeks has been that Kreider’s back has been an ongoing issue.

That is likely the root issue of this apparent upper-body injury. Kreider will miss at least the next three games by rule of being placed on injured reserve.

The 33-year-old forward has recorded 13 goals, two assists and 15 points while averaging 17:37 minutes.
