Chris Kreider to miss Rangers game against Blues with upper-body injury

New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider will miss the game against the St. Louis Blues due to an upper-body injury. He sustained the injury during Saturday's loss to the Edmonton Oilers and has not missed any games this season until now. Kreider has been a key player, contributing nine goals in 19 games. In his absence, the Rangers have called up Matt Rempe from AHL Hartford and promoted Brett Berard to fill his spot on the roster. The team has classified Kreider's injury as day-to-day, but there is no specific timeline for his return. The Rangers currently hold a 12-6-1 record and are fourth in the Metropolitan Division.
