"Say what you want about how last season went and how the divorce was finalized, no matter what Chris Kreider's Rangers legacy should be a positive one. Emotions will run high tonight as Kreider makes his MSG return tonight in an Anaheim Ducks uniform. Kreider and the Rangers came to a necessary end this summer when Kreider was traded for pennies on the dollar after an ugly season. One season shouldn't, and won't, ruin Kreider's Rangers legacy, one filled with clutch playoff goals."
"Kreider's Rangers legacy goes far beyond just numbers, but the numbers do matter. Kreider is in the top-ten in most all time Rangers stat: Games played: 883 (8th) Goals: 326 (3rd) Plus/minus: 121 (6th) Even strength goals: 197 (4th) Powerplay goals: 116 (T-1st) Shorthanded goals: 13 (4th) Game winning goals: 50 (2nd) Shots: 2160 (5th) Hat tricks: 6 (4th) Plus many others that aren't "traditional stats""
Chris Kreider completed a 12-season tenure with the Rangers and was traded to the Ducks after a difficult final season. He returns to Madison Square Garden amid emotional circumstances.
