Schneider had surgery to repair a torn labrum and is expected to be ready for the start of the 2025-26 regular season.

Schneider missed the final two games of the regular season and had been playing through the shoulder injury, and wanted to address it before the 2025-26 season. He already underwent surgery, so he's expected to be in training camp in the spring.

Shesterkin will start Thursday vs. the Lightning.

The Rangers will conclude a disappointing 2024-25 season with Shesterkin tending the twine against the Tampa Bay Lightning. While the blame is not entirely on him, Shesterkin failed to keep his team in playoff contention when they needed him most, posting an ugly 3.64 GAA and .865 SV% in five April games (2-3-0). The 29-year-old netminder has a 2.91 GAA and .903 SV% in 60 games this season (26-29-5). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as -128 home favorites against a Lightning team with points in six straight (3-0-3).

Quick will start in Florida on Monday.

Officially eliminated from playoff contention, the Rangers will turn to Quick between the pipes on Monday against the Florida Panthers. Quick has struggled lately, allowing six or more goals in two of his last three games (1-2-0). The 39-year-old veteran netminder has a 3.18 GAA and .893 SV% in 23 games this season (10-7-2). The Rangers enter Monday's contest as +142 road underdogs against the Panthers.

Shesterkin will start on Long Island on Thursday.

With only four games remaining, the Rangers effectively squandered their slim hopes of making the playoffs after a disappointing 8-5 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers last night. The Rangers needed Shesterkin at his best for any hopes of making the playoffs, and he responded with an uninspiring 3.70 GAA and .820 SV% in three April games (1-2-0). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as +109 road underdogs against the New York Islanders.
