Kreider, 25, posted a career-high 46 points (21G / 25A) in 2014-15 and followed it up with a nearly identical season in 2016-16, posting 21 goals and 22 assists (43 points) in 79 games. Kreider will once again skate in the Rangers’ top-6 this season, with either Derek Stepan and Mika Zibanejad in the middle. Kreider could be in for a breakout season, which includes his first 25-goal, 50-point season.
Killorn, 26, had 40 points (14G / 26A) in 81 games last season. He has been a very consistent point producer in the lat three years, finishing with 41, 38 and 40 points each season. Those number are certainly serviceable for the Lightning, but aren’t quite good enough to land him firmly on the fantasy radar.
Brossoit surrendered three goals on 25 shots in the Oilers loss to the Avalanche last Sunday. Brossoit has gone 0-3-1 with a 3.23 GAA and .882 SV% in four starts this season. Brossoit’s NHL career has not gotten off on the best foot and he draws a difficult matchup in Los Angeles, where the Kings are 23-11-2 this season.
Vatrano, 22, has split his time between Boston and Providence during the 2015-16 campaign. He has registered six goals and one assist (seven points) in 30 games in Boston and leads the AHL in goals with 33 in 33 games. In addition to the 33 goals Vatrano has added 16 assists for 49 points, which is good for third on the team.
Brossoit surrendered six goals on 27 shots in the Oilers loss in Columbus on March 4th. The 22-year-old netminder has gone 0-2-1 with a 2.93 GAA and .919 SV% in three career NHL starts, so he’ll look to notch his first career win tonight vs. the Predators. Nashville comes in having lost three of five.
Brossoit stopped 32 of 33 shots in an Oilers 2-1 shootout loss to the Jets in his first NHL start this season. The 22-year-old netminder has gone 15-9-3 with a 2.69 GAA and .919 SV% in 28 games with Bakersfield (AHL) this season. He’ll make his second NHL start against a Blue Jackets team that has lost four of their last seven.
Brossoit, 22, will get a shot with the Oilers for the rest of the season after they traded Anders Nilsson to the Blues. He has gone 15-9-3 with a 2.69 GAA, .919 SV% and three shutouts with Bakersfield (AHL) this season. He gets two more years with the Oilers before becoming a restricted free agent in 2018-19.
Brossoit stopped 49 of 51 shots in an Oilers win in his NHL debut last April. Tonight will be his second career NHL game with Cam Talbot out with an illness. The 22-year-old netminder has gone 14-8-3 with a 2.70 GAA and .921 SV% in 26 starts with Bakersfield (AHL) this season.
Jensen was recalled for Monday’s game, but did not get into the lineup. He has been sent down to play with Grand Rapids over the NHL All-Star break.
Kreider was listed as questionable for Friday’s game and was clearly not ready to go. He is listed as day-to-day and could be back in the lineup on Sunday.
Vatrano, 21, has registered six goals and one assist in 30 games with the Bruins this season. He heads back to Providence where he has collected 10 goals and two assists in 10 games this season.
Kreider is questionable for Friday’s game after missing Thursday’s practice with neck spasms. Monitor his status during their morning skate.
Kreider has missed the last two games with a laceration on his hand, but he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Bruins. Kreider will replace Oscar Lindberg and skate on the third line. He has 18 points (6G / 12A) in 39 games this season.
Kreider was listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game but he has officially been ruled out. With Kreider out, Jayson Megna has been recalled and is expected to make his Rangers debut tonight. Rangers’ head coach Alain Vigneault is hopeful that Kreider will be back in the lineup on Saturday.
Kreider suffered a laceration on his hand in Saturday's loss in Florida and it looks like it will force him to miss Tuesday's game. Kreider missed Monday's practice, but shouldn't be considered anything more than day-to-day.
Vatrano left last Thursday’s game vs. Minnesota and missed Saturday’s game, but will be a game-time decision on Monday in Toronto. Vatrano has one goal and 19 shots in six games this season.
