NY Post
Chris Kreider missed his third straight game with an upper-body injury Friday, when the Rangers lost to the Maple Leafs 3-2 in their fourth game back from the 4 Nations Face-Off break.
The longest-tenured Ranger participated in the optional morning skate and in practice Thursday but evidently still was not ready to return to game action.
As a result, Brennan Othmann remained in the lineup for a second straight game on the fourth line next to Jonny Brodzinski and Matt Rempe.
K’Andre Miller, who suffered a lower-body injury in the Islanders game Tuesday, was able to suit right back up and play Friday. He lined up in his usual post on the left of Will Borgen.
Additionally, J.T. Miller also was able to play after missing Thursday’s practice due to illness.
The newest Ranger centered the second line between Will Cuylle and Mika Zibanejad.
