Overview

  • Chris Kreider scored twice, including a power-play winner with 1:27 remaining, to cap Anaheim’s 4-3 home-opening win over Pittsburgh.
  • He has four goals in his first three games with the Ducks, three on the power play, along with an assist.
  • The Rangers lost 2-0 to the Oilers to begin the season with three consecutive home shutouts, the first such start in NHL history.
  • Advanced tracking showed New York out-shot Edmonton 30-22 and led 15-3 in high-danger chances, underscoring finishing problems rather than chance creation.
  • Ducks coach Joel Quenneville and forward Troy Terry lauded Kreider’s net-front presence, as the Rangers’ cap-driven trade of their No. 3 all-time goal scorer remains a central storyline.
