New York Rangers News

Since being officially eliminated from the playoffs, the Rangers have showcased their most impressive stretch of the season. The team is coming off a dominant 8-1 victory over the Washington Capitals, where Shesterkin saved 20 of 21 shots (.952 SV%). The 30-year-old Shesterkin has won three of his last four while posting a tremendous 1.51 GAA and .938 SV%. The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +125 home underdogs against a Buffalo Sabres team coming off an important 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning to help them inch closer to their goal of winning the Atlantic Division.

Quick has not played since suffering an upper-body injury over two weeks ago, but he will return to the crease on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 40-year-old veteran goalie has had a wildly inconsistent season, with lots of downs, as indicated by his ugly 5-16-2 record. Before his injury, Quick had strung together a serviceable run, posting a 3.05 GAA and .912 SV% in his last four games (1-3-0).

After losing four straight (0-4-0) while allowing 14 goals on 112 combined shots (.875 SV%), Shesterkin has rebounded with two stellar victories, saving 48 of 50 combined shots (.960 SV%). The 30-year-old Shesterkin has battled his share of ups and downs this season, but ended March with serviceable totals, posting a 2.75 GAA and .909 SV% in 11 games (6-4-1). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as +126 home underdogs against a Montreal Canadiens team that has been dominant lately, outscoring their opposition 23-9 during a six-game winning streak.

The Rangers have had a terribly disappointing and inconsistent season, but Shesterkin has remained reliable between the pipes. The 30-year-old goalie was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers. He has a 2.80 GAA and .909 SV% in his last 11 games (6-4-1). The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as +106 home underdogs against a surging New Jersey Devils team that has scored four or more goals in seven of its last nine games (6-3-0).

Garand was excellent in his NHL debut last week, saving 35 of 37 shots (.946 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets, and will return to the crease on Friday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 23-year-old Garand was a fourth-round pick of the New York Rangers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, who has a 2.83 GAA and .896 SV% in 36 games (16-15-2) with Hartford (AHL) this season. The Rangers enter Friday's contest as -178 home favourites against a Blackhawks team that was defeated 5-1 last night by the Philadelphia Flyers.

Fortescue was a third-round pick of the Rangers in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft that was recently rewarded with an entry-level contract after completing his collegiate hockey career. The 20-year-old defenseman scored 14 points (4G / 10A) in 35 games this season with Boston College.

Shesterkin was excellent in New York's previous outing, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%), but received very little goal support in a game where his team only managed 10 shots on goal in a 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators. The 30-year-old Shesterkin has a serviceable 2.88 GAA and .912 SV% in nine games since returning from the Olympic break. The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as -119 road favourites against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that played last night and won 4-2 over the Boston Bruins.

Vincent Iorio will draw back into New York's lineup on Wednesday, resulting in Mackey being a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Mackey has only played three games with the Rangers this season, tallying zero points and a -3 plus/minus.

Connor Mackey will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Iorio to re-enter the lineup. The 23-year-old Iorio is averaging 15:51 time-on-ice and has three assists in 26 games this season.

Brodzinski has regularly shuffled in and out of the lineup this season, but he will return to action on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 32-year-old forward is averaging 11:03 time-on-ice and has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 45 games this season.

Parssinen has only played two games in the last two weeks and will return to the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Parssinen has three points (2G / 1A) in 20 games this season.
