Rangers' Kreider out indefinitely following rib surgery
Marc DesRosiers / USA Today
New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider will be out indefinitely after he undergoes surgery to have a rib resected, the team announced Friday.
Late last month, the Rangers disclosed Kreider would be out indefinitely due to a blood clot in his arm. The 26-year-old has been sidelined for the past three games.
While no timeline was given for Kreider's return, TSN's Darren Dreger reported the forward's recovery could keep him out of the lineup until March.
Kreider has scored 22 points in 37 games this season.
