5.) Chris Kreider

Bursting out with an incredible breakout season is Chris Kreider. From October 13th when the season started until this point, Kreider has been one of the Rangers’ most consistent forwards.

He’s a player that is extremely versatile, playing both even-strength and on the power play. Kreider has given the Rangers chances upon chances every night and provides the team with grit with his hard hits. Most nights, he even finds a way to have at least one breakaway in the game.

So long as Kreider can keep up the good work, he poses a strong offensive threat to opposing teams. He’s got incredible speed, strength, and a hard work ethic that combine to make him one of the Rangers’ best forwards.
