New York Rangers News

After being acquired from the Canucks on Friday night, Miller will suit up Saturday afternoon in Boston. It will be the first time Miller plays for the Rangers since February 25th, 2018 and he comes in with 35 points (9G / 26A) in 40 games this season. It's unclear where he will slot into the lineup and who his linemates will be.

A sixth-round draft pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Dorrington is yet to make his professional debut. He is currently playing in his third season with Northeastern University of the NCAA. Dorrington has eight goals and 20 assists in 81 career NCAA games.

Signed from the Senators in the off-season, Brannstrom leaves the Canucks organization after just 28 NHL games. He registered three goals and five assists with the Canucks, and excelled during his short stint with Abbotsford (AHL), scoring two goals and adding ten assists in just eight games. It's unclear whether the former 15th overall pick will compete for ice-time in the NHL to start his stint with the Rangers, or if he'll be reassigned to Hartford (AHL).

Perhaps the most anticipated trade of the 2024-25 NHL season, Miller has finally been relocated back to the Big Apple, waiving his no-trade clause to rejoin the Rangers. On a per game basis, Miller is one of the most productive Canucks of all time, joining Pavel Bure as the organization's only other player to finish their Canuck careers with more than a point per game. Some dressing room turmoil quite obviously led to Miller's early departure, and although he's fallen off from the 102-point player he was a season ago, he's still managed 35 points (9G/26A) in 40 games this season. He brings a much needed offensive boost to a team that desperately needs it in the underperforming Rangers.

Miller will likely be held out of the lineup due to a potential trade in the works. Frank Seravalli has reported that Miller has verbally agreed to waive his no-trade clause to return to the Rangers, and the two teams are working towards completing a deal.

The Rangers' 10-game point streak snapped in their previous outing (7-1-3), and they will roll with Shesterkin between the pipes on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Shesterkin struggled in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 22 shots (.773 SV%), including the game-deciding goal in the final seconds of a 5-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Before that contest, Shesterkin performed excellently, allowing three or fewer goals in seven straight (6-0-1) while posting a .948 SV%. The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as +125 home underdogs against a Hurricanes squad with points in five straight (4-0-1).

After a forgetful 21-game stretch where the Rangers only won five games (5-16-0), they have rebounded admirably, collecting points in nine straight (6-0-3), partly due to terrific play from Shesterkin. Shesterkin has saved the last 47 shots he's faced, recording consecutive shutouts. The 29-year-old netminder is up to a 2.78 GAA and .912 SV% in 33 games (16-15-2). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as -147 home favorites against a Flyers club with points in six straight (5-0-1).

The suddenly hot Rangers have points in eight straight contests (5-0-3) and will turn to Shesterkin between the pipes on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. Shesterkin was tremendous in his most recent outing, saving all 27 shots he faced in a 1-0 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets for his second shutout of the season. The 29-year-old netminder has a 2.87 GAA and .910 SV% in 32 games this season (15-15-2). The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as -130 home favorites against a Senators team with points in six straight games (5-0-1).

The Rangers gave up a tying goal late and ultimately lost 3-2 to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday but have played well lately, recording a point in five straight (3-0-2). Shesterkin will return to the crease on Thursday against the Utah Hockey Club, looking to build on his 2.97 GAA and .907 SV% in 30 games this season (13-15-2). The 29-year-old netminder has played better lately, allowing only six combined goals in his previous three games (2-0-1) while posting a .924 SV%. New York enters Thursday's contest as +100 road underdogs against a Utah team amid a two-game losing skid.

Kreider has not played since January 4th but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 33-year-old Kreider has struggled this season with only 15 points (13G / 2A) in 34 games but was playing better lately, scoring three points (2G / 1A) in three games before his injury.
