Jimmy Vesey has seen Chris Kreider from both sides now, returning following a three-year hiatus after playing the first three seasons of his career with No. 20 on Broadway.
Tuesday’s 3-2 shootout loss to Buffalo
The culture of brand promotion has completely escaped Kreider, who deflects accolades as expertly as he does pucks around the net. Self-glorification is a foreign concept to the native of Boxboro, Mass., who is climbing the Original Six franchise’s all-time goal-scoring ladder, rung after rung after rung.
Kreider has scored 88 goals over the past two seasons, seventh in the NHL behind luminaries Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, David Pastrnak, Auston Matthews, Alex Ovechkin and Mikko Rantanen. The 36 he has recorded this year is eight more than his personal-best over his first eight full seasons. “I think I’ve had a good year,” he said. “I haven’t had those crazy heaters like I did last season but I think I’ve added value to the team.”
“I think I’ve been a little bit snakebitten this year,” Kreider said. “I’ve missed a few pretty good opportunities on my own, but I know there have been pucks that would have gone in last year that haven’t this year. So I’m just staying at it.”
