Rangers forward Chris Kreider’s had himself a tough couple of games.

After engaging in his first-ever NHL fight on Saturday -- against Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf -- Kreider was ejected from tonight’s game against Columbus after boarding Blue Jackets defenseman Fedor Tyutin:

The incident occurred right at the start of the second period, with Kreider getting a five minute major and game misconduct. Tyutin left for a good chunk of the period, returned for a shift, but then left the bench again.

Columbus capitalized at four-on-four -- Brandon Dubinsky took a minor for jumping Kreider, and Cam Atkinson proceeded to score his 11th of the season -- and then went up 3-1 late in the second period when James Wisniewski scored his third of the year.

Updated: Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch reported after the game that Tyutin suffered a Charley-horse type of injury.
