Kreider later confirmed to reporters he'll being playing in Game 6, even if he isn't 100 percent.
Kreider didn't leave any gray area. Asked if he's playing, he said «Yup.» #NYR
Earlier this morning, head coach Peter Laviolette remained tight lipped about his status for Game 6 tonight. However, with Kreider returning to today's morning practice, Laviolette labeled it as «a real positive.»
Chris Kreider currently sits at two goals and two assists in Games 1 through 3 against the Hurricanes but has been held without a point in Game 4 and 5.
