Chris Kreider scratched for first time in over a decade as Rangers struggle

Chris Kreider was a healthy scratch for the New York Rangers in their recent game against the New Jersey Devils. This marks the first time he has been scratched since the 2012-13 season. Kreider's absence comes as the Rangers struggle, with a record of 4-13 following a 5-0 loss to the Devils. His performance has been part of the team's recent decline. Previously, Kreider celebrated a hat trick that helped the Rangers advance to the conference finals. Now, he faces scrutiny as the team continues to falter.
