Chris Kreider (upper body) could miss his fourth straight game against the Nashville Predators at Madison Square Garden on Sunday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNSO, MSG2, SNP, SNO, SNE, TVAS). The forward participated in the morning skate but remainder on the ice afterwards. He placed on injured reserve Saturday but can be activated at any time.

This is not a good situation that the Vancouver Canucks are finding themselves in as the schedule officially hits crunch time with the NHL Trade Deadline now only days away. Following Saturday night’s loss to the Seattle Kraken,

Eeli Tolvanen had two goals, including the go-ahead score with 6:52 to go in the second period, and Vince Dunn had two assists to give him 200 for his career in the Seattle Kraken’s 6-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.

Notable: Matty Beniers and Eeli Tolvanen (two goals) stopped the trend of barely hanging with Vancouver on the scoreboard. Those two forwards scored exactly a minute apart midway through the second period, then defenseman Brandon Montour added an exclamation point on Saturday night. Joey Daccord made 28 saves.

Eeli Tolvanen scored twice and Brandon Montour had a goal and an assist as the Seattle Kraken defeated the visiting Vancouver Canucks 6-3 on Saturday night to boost their flagging playoff hopes.
