Ducks’ Chris Kreider viewing return to Garden as strictly a ‘business trip’
NY Post
Chris Kreider was back on a sheet of ice in New York on Thursday morning but in no mood to reminisce.
“Just game day against the Islanders, man,” said Kreider, the longtime Rangers forward now playing for the Ducks, when asked about his pending return to Madison Square Garden on Monday night.
That night against the Rangers will have been circled on the calendar not just for Kreider but also for Jacob Trouba, who also will face the Blueshirts for the first time since he was dealt in the middle of last season.
Trouba, the Rangers’ former captain, wasn’t in the dressing room after an optional skate for Anaheim on Thursday morning.
Both players were victims of the Rangers’ reshuffling that occurred both during and after a catastrophic 2024-25 season in which they missed the playoffs with a 39-36-7 record following an Eastern Conference Final berth the previous season.
The Rangers intended to trade Trouba in summer 2024 but held off as he didn’t want to uproot his family while his wife, Dr. Kelly Tyson-Trouba, was still completing her three-year residency at a hospital in New York.
