Kreider (neck spasms) was back on the ice for Wednesday's practice, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Kreider was scratched from Monday's game against the Penguins due to the injury, but his participation in practice suggests the ailment isn't anything too serious. Unless coach Alain Vigneault indicates otherwise, expect Kreider to rejoin the lineup Saturday in Vancouver.
