Chris Kreider helped get the New York Rangers back to the playoffs. Kreider had two goals and an assist and the New York Rangers earned a postseason berth with a 5-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night. ''We played pretty well away from the puck and we were able to take it home and get two points to clinch a playoff spot,'' Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. ''Probably caught their goalie on an off night and we were able to capitalize early.'' Dan Boyle, Mats Zuccarello and Tanner Glass also scored for the Rangers, who have 101 points.
