Kreider has surgery on hand, out ‘indefinitely’

Buffalo Sabres v New York Rangers

<>during the first period of an NHL hockey game at Madison Square Garden on October 31, 2013 in New York City.

From the New York Rangers:

It was reported earlier in the week that Kreider could miss up to a month with a broken hand. It’s not clear if “indefinitely” could mean longer than that.

However long he’s out, the Rangers will miss him. The 22-year-old winger has 17 goals and 20 assists in 66 games, his 37 points ranking him sixth in team scoring.

Winners of five straight, New York is currently in a battle with Philadelphia for second place in the Metropolitan Division, a spot that would come with home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs against whichever team finishes third.
