June 12 (UPI) -- The Anaheim Ducks traded for New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider, the teams announced Thursday.
The Ducks agreed to send prospect Carey Terrance and a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft to the Rangers in exchange for the veteran, who was the Rangers' longest-tenured player (13 years).
"Chris Kreider is the type of player we were looking to add this offseason," Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said in a news release.
"He has size, speed and is a clutch performer that elevates his game in big moments. Chris also upgrades both of our special teams units, something we really needed to address."
Kreider, 34, totaled 22 goals and eight assists over 68 appearances this season. The No. 19 overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft totaled 326 goals and 256 assists over his first 883 career appearances.
"We want to thank Chris Kreider for all of his contributions to the Rangers organization over his stellar career," Rangers general manager Chris Drury said. "Chris has been an integral part of some of the most iconic moments in Rangers history, including setting multiple franchise records and helping the team advance to the 2014 Stanley Cup Final.
"His leadership on the ice and tireless efforts in the community -- which he was recognized for as the inaugural recipient of the Rod Gilbert 'Mr. Ranger' Award -- only add to his distinguished Rangers legacy. Chris will always be a Ranger and we wish him and his family all the best."

Leon Draisaitl's Immediate Reaction to Oilers' Comeback Win Against Panthers
Leon Draisaitl's Immediate Reaction to Oilers' Comeback Win Against Panthers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Edmonton Oilers entered the first intermission of Game 4 looking more like a team on the edge of collapse than a Stanley Cup contender. Advertisement Down 3–0 to the Florida Panthers after 20 minutes, outshot 17–7 through the first period, and reeling from a lopsided Game 3 loss, a strong response was very much needed to save their season. What followed was one of the most dramatic comebacks in Stanley Cup Final history. After Ryan Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring for Edmonton in the second, Darnell Nurse and Vasily Podkolzin tied the game before Jake Walman gave them a 4–3 lead in the third. Florida, however, forced overtime with just under 20 seconds left in regulation on a Sam Reinhart goal. At 11:18 of OT, Leon Draisaitl backhanded the puck past Sergei Bobrovsky to end Game 4 and tie the series 2–2, with the finals shifting back to Edmonton for Game 5. 'That's what we do,' Draisaitl told Gene Principe in the tunnel postgame. 'We're a resilient group, and we're never going to quit, no matter what. We'll take it and go home.' Advertisement Draisaitl, who finished with two assists and the game-winner, emphasized how the team thrives under pressure. 'Once again, shows you, tells you, that our group never quits,' Draisaitl said. 'I think we believe that no matter how bad it is, if we get over that hump of adversity, we're going to keep pushing. We're going to keep coming. Eventually, it will break.' Reflecting on the Oilers' sluggish start, Draisaitl didn't mince words. "We wanted to come out strong tonight, but they put us on our heels early, and we were kind of lollygagging around a little bit,' Draisaitl said. 'It's certainly not the time to lollygag around, right, especially after getting spanked in Game 3.' Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl (29) celebrates the overtime win against the Florida Panthers in game four of the 2025 Stanley Cup Rassol-Imagn Images The turnaround may have started with a speech by veteran Oilers forward Corey Perry, who reportedly addressed the team in the locker room after the first period. Advertisement Ryan Nugent-Hopkins paraphrased it as, 'Wake up. Look where we are and the position we're in.' Now, the series returns to Canada tied 2–2, with Game 5 set for Saturday night and the Oilers once again having home-ice advantage entering the last three games of the season, assuming there is a deciding Game 7.

Indianapolis Colts to induct late owner Jim Irsay into Ring of Honor

Friday would have been his 66th birthday. The Colts announced a new ownership transition Monday, with Jim Irsay's daughters -- Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson -- becoming co-owners. "There was no bigger advocate for the Colts, the NFL, the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana than our dad, Jim Irsay," the daughters said in a news release. "It's only fitting that he now joins the other amazing Colts legends in our Ring of Honor who contributed so much to our franchise and our community over the past four decades." The Colts won a Super Bowl, 10 division titles and two AFC crowns during Jim Irsay's tenure. Notable deaths of 2025
