When Sam Rosen says, "Wow," you best recognize what's going on. Chris Kreider is a BEAST right now. 3-1 #NYR #NYRangers pic.twitter.com/RuMRwx0AW5

Chris Kreider seems capable of just about anything right now - aside from successfully engaging an official in an on-ice celebration.
Scoring in a third straight game to begin the season, burying a rising shot over the shoulder of Martin Jones Monday night, Kreider looked to the official for an embrace as he turned the corner, only to be reprimanded for his attempt.

Of course that won't knock the shine off a third straight multi-point effort out of the gate, or a little slice of New York Rangers history.
Chris Kreider is the first Ranger who has recorded six points in the first three games of a season since Brian Leetch in 1992-93. #NYRStats
