Kreider Cleared, Jooris Back In Regular Jersey
Welcome news for the Rangers today, with Chris Kreider being cleared to practice with the Rangers today ahead of tomorrow’s first meeting of the season with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Kreider had missed the last two games with an undisclosed upper body injury, and had previously missed four games with neck spasms earlier in the year.
The exact nature of this latest injury is yet to be disclosed, though Alain Vigneault may provide some more details after the practice skate which is in progress at the time of this writing. Kreider did wear a regular jersey, so is cleared for contact, and the relative briefness of his absence, would likely point to a return tomorrow.
