Chris Kreider (Illness) Misses Second Game, Targets Monday Return vs. Rangers

Anaheim Ducks winger Chris Kreider (illness) missed Saturday's game against the Kings, marking his second consecutive absence. The 34-year-old is reportedly aiming to recover in time for Monday's contest against his former team, the New York Rangers, though his illness has hit him "pretty hard," making his return timeline uncertain. Historically, Mika Zibanejad recently surpassed Kreider's 116 power-play goals for the Rangers.
