Trading Kreider opened up cap space and allowed the team to create a new look, and the Rangers agreed to a deal with Anaheim before the veteran signed off on the move. His Ducks tenure began with two road games against the Kraken and Sharks before his first regular-season game repping the Ducks at the Honda Center.

The New York Rangers made a notable move this summer when they traded forward Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks. This marked the end of Kreider's strong 13-year stint with the Rangers.

In just a few games the Anaheim Ducks’ newest addition has brought a brand new winning mentality and it’s already having a positive effect on the rest of the roster.

The Ducks gave out Wild Wing masks to every fan in attendance at Honda Center before the game. Each seat had one waiting for the fans as they made their way into the arena. The masks were modeled after the Ducks’ mascot, Wild Wing, who has the same look.

The pure and simple fact that the Rangers have been unable to score even an itty-bitty-off-the-tushy goal in three straight home games should not be cause for worry.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (2-1) open a three-game California trip coming off their first loss of the season as they take on the Anaheim Ducks (1-1-0) at the Honda Center on Tuesday night.
