New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider will have to wait until tomorrow for another chance to become the first person since 1987 to play in the National Hockey League playoffs in the same year that he won a national college championship.
Five days ago the 20-year-old Kreider won the National Collegiate Athletic Association title with Boston College. The last person to claim that title and then play in the NHL postseason was Tony Hrkac, who won the college championship with the University of North Dakota 25 years ago before playing for the St. Louis Blues in the NHL playoffs, the league said.
