On Monday, New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette scratched Chris Kreider from the lineup for their game against the New Jersey Devils. The Rangers were struggling this season losing 13 of their last 17 games and they did it to shake things up.
Kreider, 33, has been with the Rangers for a long time. He scored a career-high 52 goals in 2021-22 and 39 goals last season. This year, he has 11 goals and one assist in 30 games. His performance has dropped, which led to his benching.
Shawn Simpson, a former Toronto Maple Leafs GM, suggested on X that Chris Kreider could be a good fit with the Ottawa Senators. He believes Kreider could help young star Tim Stützle if he's open to joining Ottawa.
