Chris Kreider- LW, New York Rangers
Kreider potted his 22nd goal of the season on Feb. 9th to give his Rangers a lead they would never relinquish in a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators. Kreider also notched an assist in a 4-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Feb. 7th that helped propel his squad to their third straight victory.
