The National Hockey League has its first 30-goal scorer of the 2021-22 campaign—and it's Chris Kreider (Boston College).
The 6-foot-3, 223-pound left wing from Boxford, Mass. hit the 30-goal mark for the first time in his pro career on Monday night, scoring the first goal for the New York Rangers in their 3-2 shootout victory over the Los Angeles Kings at Madison Square Garden. He now leads all NHL players in goals scored so far this season, having already eclipsed his previous season-high of 28 goals in both 2016-17 and 2018-19.
Kreider, 30, has recorded 207 goals and 389 points in 616 career NHL regular-season games, all with the Rangers, since turning pro in 2012. Now in his 10th NHL season, he tallied 49 goals and 92 points in 116 career NCAA outings with BC, and also helped the Eagles to national championships in both 2010 and 2012.
