Kreider and Trouba, traded from the Rangers last season, now play key roles for the Ducks who lead the Pacific Division this season.
- On Monday, Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba will return to Madison Square Garden for the first time since Trouba's December trade and Kreider's summer departure, highlighting their key roles with the Anaheim Ducks.
- The Rangers' front‑office shakeup led to Trouba's December trade and Kreider's summer departure after a Nov. 24, 2024 memo from Chris Drury signaled a roster overhaul.

- Off the ice, Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba live on the same street, spend much time together, and say gratitude outweighs any bitterness from their departures.
