Jones has appeared in only one of the Rangers' previous three games and will return to the press box on Tuesday as Erik Gustafsson returns to the lineup. The 23-year-old has set career highs in almost all statistical categories in 2023-24, with two goals, nine points, 42 SOG, eight PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 31 games played.
Rempe will continue his pattern of going in and out of the Rangers' lineup on Tuesday as he is replaced by Jack Roslovic vs. the New York Islanders. The 21-year-old has been the talk of the NHL with his aggressive style this season and has a goal, an assist, 11 SOG and 69 PIMs in 15 games played.
Shesterkin will look to extend his two-game win streak as he takes the Rangers' crease for the third time in four games on Tuesday vs. interstate rivals, the New York Islanders. The 28-year-old will look for his 35th win of the season on Tuesday for a third straight season as he has a 34-16-2 record, 2.64 GAA and .911 SV%. He'll host the red-hot New York Islanders, who have won their last four games but are 23rd in the NHL in goals per game (2.95).
The Rangers will turn to Quick for the second time in the last four games as the Rangers visit the Detroit Red Wings. Quick struggled in his last outing, allowing five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%), but received adequate offensive support from his team in an eventual 8-5 win over the Arizona Coyotes. The Rangers enter on Friday as -137 road favourites.
Vaakanainen has appeared in 65 games this season for Anaheim but will head to the press box on Friday as he is replaced by Radko Gudas, who is returning from injury. The 25-year-old played in 68 career NHL games across six separate seasons before sticking with the Ducks this year and has taken a massive step forward with his 14 points (1G/13A), 66 SOG and 26 PIMs in 65 games in 2023-24.
Matt Rempe will be a healthy scratch on Friday, allowing Brodzinski to draw back into the lineup. Brodzinski has been held off the scoresheet in five of the last six games.
Jonny Brodzinski will draw back into the lineup on Friday, making Rempe a healthy scratch. Rempe was ejected from Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils after receiving a fighting major only two seconds into the contest.
Derek Ryan will draw back into the Oiler's lineup on Friday, making Carrick a healthy scratch. Carrick played the last two games and recorded two points (0G / 2A).
The Rangers will likely turn to Quick for the second time in the last four games as the Rangers visit the Detroit Red Wings. Quick struggled in his last outing, allowing five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%), but received adequate offensive support from his team in an eventual 8-5 win over the Arizona Coyotes. The Rangers enter on Friday as -137 road favourites.
The Rangers will likely turn to Shesterkin again on Wednesday after a disappointing 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. Shesterkin has allowed three or more goals in four of his last five (3-2-0), with the weakest performance in his most recent outing, allowing three goals on only 18 shots (.833 SV%). That said, the Rangers -182 home favourites against a New Jersey Devils team they defeated 3-1 less than a month ago.
Groulx will take a seat on Tuesday as Ross Johnston draws back into the Ducks' lineup. Groulx has no goals and two assists in 43 games this season.
Vaisanen was the fourth-round pick of the Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and has earned himself a three-year, entry-level contract. The 21-year-old forward has 14 points (9G / 5A) in 58 games this season with TPS Turku (SM-liiga).
Scanlin made his NHL debut earlier this month but has mostly served as a healthy scratch since being with the Rangers. The 24-year-old will return to the Hartford Wolfpack of the AHL, where he has 16 points (8G / 8GA) in 56 games.
Mancini was a fifth-round pick of the Rangers in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and has spent the last three seasons playing with the University of Nebraska-Omaha. The 21-year-old defenseman scored 23 points (4G / 19A) in his 110-game college-hockey career.
