New York Rangers News

Shesterkin will start against the Panthers on Monday.

Shesterkin was on the wrong end of a 4-3 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, snapping his seven-game winning streak, but will return to the crease on Monday. The 28-year-old netminder has been sensational since returning from the All-Star break, allowing fewer than two goals in five of eight games (7-0-1) while boasting an outstanding .948 SV%. The Rangers are +114 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers squad riding a four-game winning streak.

New York has signed Connor Mackey to a two-year, contract extension.

Mackey played one game with the Rangers earlier this season but has spent the majority of the 2023-24 campaign with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL), scoring 11 points (2G / 9A) in 36 games. The undrafted 27-year-old defenseman has played 40 career NHL games across stints with the Rangers, Arizona Coyotes, and Calgary Flames.

Shesterkin led the Rangers onto the ice for warmups.

Shesterkin had the night off in a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday but will tend the twine in a rematch on Wednesday night. After an uncharacteristically inconsistent start to the season, Shesterkin has flipped a switch since the All-Star break, allowing fewer than two goals in four of six games (6-0-0), posting an impressive .951 SV%. Despite losing to them less than a week ago, the Rangers are sizeable -251 home favourites against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.

Panarin (lower-body) will play in New Jersey on Thursday.

Panarin played 19:55 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Dallas Stars but was unavailable for practice on Wednesday. The 32-year-old Panarin has seven points (1G / 6A) in his last three games. He already has tied a career-high in goals this season (32) and is pacing for his first 100-point season.

Shesterkin will start on Thursday in New Jersey.

Shesterkin will look to extend New York's eight-game winning streak as he takes the crease for a third-straight start on Thursday in New Jersey. The 28-year-old all-star has surprisingly been the lesser of the Rangers' two starters this season, with his 23-12-1 record, 2.79 GAA and .904 SV%. He'll head right down the road to take on the New Jersey Devils, who have lost two of their last three games and rank 10th in the NHL in both goals per game (3.36) and shots per game (31.9).

The New York Rangers have signed Johnny Brodzinski to a two-year contract extension worth $1.575 million ($787,500 AAV).

Brodzinski was having a terrific season with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL), scoring 25 points (11G / 14A) in 16 games, resulting in his recall earlier this season. He's managed to be an effective offensive contributor at the NHL level and has been rewarded with a two-year $1.575 million contract extension. The 30-year-old has 15 points (4G / 11A) in 37 games with the Rangers this season.

Shesterkin will start on Tuesday vs. Dallas.

Shesterkin will return to the crease for the fourth time in the last five games on Tuesday night. The former Vezina winner salvaged an overtime victory on Sunday at the Stadium Series against the New York Islanders despite allowing five goals on 41 shots (.878 SV%). Shesterkin has been uncharacteristically inconsistent all season, but he and the Rangers remain -127 home favourites entering action against an injury-depleted Dallas Stars team that played yesterday and lost 4-3 in a shootout to the Boston Bruins.
