The goal was his fourth of the season, and he added his fifth less than five minutes later. Kreider manages only two goals in 23 regular season games under Tortorella's tutelage, giving extra significance to his outburst against the Canucks.
#NYR Has to be gratifying for Kreider, who struggled mightily under Tortorella last year. Two goals in first period vs. former coach today
