New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider left Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings early with an upper-body injury and the Rangers announced he will not return.

The New York Post's Brett Cyrgalis reported Kreider went down in the corner and was caught by a very hard knee from teammate Mika Zibanejad in the head.

The 28-year-old Kreider has 18 goals and 16 assists in 49 games for the Rangers this season.
