Chris Kreider pledges to seek redemption after a disappointing 2022-23 NHL season

After the conclusion of the 2022-23 NHL season, Chris Kreider of the New York Rangers openly discussed the hurdles his team encountered. In a conversation with NHL reporter Mollie Walker, Kreider shared his thoughts about the season's ending and its implications for the team's future. He said:

"I think like every guy on that team, I've got a pit in my stomach. I expect that to turn into a bit of a chip on everyone's shoulder."

Despite securing a spot in the playoffs, the Rangers' aspirations for a successful postseason run were dashed by an unexpected loss to the New Jersey Devils in the opening round. Despite initially leading the series 2-0, the Rangers couldn't maintain their momentum.

The premature exit from the playoffs has motivated Kreider and his fellow teammates. His words encapsulated a resolve to transform the setbacks from the 2022-23 season into renewed strength for the upcoming one.

As the Rangers evaluate their missed chance and dissect the factors contributing to their early departure, Kreider is all committed to progress and betterment.
