New York Rangers veterans status just went from bad to worse following latest development that had just surfaced from the organization.
New York Rangers veteran forward Chris Kreider has suffered a upper-body injury, which has resulted in him to miss the last three games.
However, the New York Rangers organization just announced an update on Chris Kreider's status, as they have placed him on Injured Reserve with an upper-body injury.
#NYR Chris Kreider (upper body) is going on IR, but he can be activated at any time.
There was no setback, he's just taking longer to heal than expected. Word is it isn't the back injury from earlier this season.

Good news is that this isn't related to his injury that he sustained earlier this season, and is not seen as a setback.
Chris Kreider (upper body injury) is going on IR, back dated to Sunday, so he can be activated any day. Per a league source, the injury is not the back problem Kreider was dealing with earlier in the season. It's not because of a setback, just an injury that's lingering.
The 33-year old forward has seen quite the decline in production this season but had managed to tally 17 goals and 4 assists throughout 48 games played.
Definitely some unfortunate news as the New York Rangers desperately need all the help they can get, but it's important for him to take the time and return once he's fully healthy.
