New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider missed practice Monday with a cut on his hand and is day to day, the team announced.

Chris Kreider suffered a cut on hand in a spot on top that can't be stitched. Wound site at risk of infection if closed. — Andrew Gross (@AGrossRecord) January 4, 2016

Kreider is off to a porous start with just six goals in 39 games with the Rangers after a respectable 21-goal campaign last season.

The Rangers are back in action Tuesday when they do battle with the Dallas Stars, but Kredier is doubtful to suit up.
