Shesterkin played his first game in over two weeks on Saturday after recovering from a lower-body injury, making 30 saves (.909 SV%) in a 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils, and will likely start again on Monday against the Dallas Stars. The Rangers are a significantly stronger team with Shesterkin between the pipes but managed to hold down the fort while he was out of the lineup as the team has collected at least a point in 11 straight games (10-0-1). In two games against the Dallas Stars last season (2-0-0), Shesterkin was phenomenal, boasting a 2.03 GAA and .931 SV%.

Ruhwedel exited Sunday's contest midway through the third period, playing only 10:46 time-on-ice, with a lower-body injury. The California-born defenceman has one point (0G / 1A), 14 blocks, and 18 hits, averaging 12:13 through 15 games this season, playing most recently on the third defensive pair with Ryan Shea.

Shesterkin has missed the Rangers' last four games due to a lower-body injury but will be back between the pipes Saturday in New Jersey. The 27-year-old has been solid as expected prior to his injury, with his 6-2-0 record, 2.36 GAA and .913 SV%. He heads to New Jersey to take on the Devils, who snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory last game and are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.73).

Mackey had a goal, three assists, 19 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through nine games with Hartford (AHL) and has been recalled Friday. The 27-year-old defensemen has three years of NHL experience and has four goals, 11 points and 70 PIMs in 39 career games.

Domingue served primarily as the backup to Jonathan Quick while with the Rangers but played exceptionally in his only game-action, saving 25 of 26 shots for a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The Rangers do not play again until Saturday, so while this might be a paper transaction, allowing Domingue to get some playing time with Hartford (AHL), it could also be a sign that Igor Shesterkin is nearing his return.

Quick will return to the Rangers' goal on Sunday after missing Thursday's game against the Wild due to an undisclosed injury. The 17-year-veteran has enjoyed a surprise renaissance in New York so far this season, posting a .935 SV% and a 1.77 GAA to go along with his 3-0-1 record. He makes for an excellent spot start on Sunday with the Rangers being a sizable favourite at -250 over the Blue Jackets.

Garand was originally called up as a precautionary measure with Jonathan Quick dealing with an injury in addition to the already-injured Igor Shesterkin. Garand's reassignment to Hartford is a good sign the Quick, Shesterkin, or both are ready to return to the lineup.

Domingue will make his New York Rangers debut on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild. Domingue has been with the Rangers, backing up Jonathan Quick, as Igor Shesterkin has been tending to a lower-body injury. The journeyman goaltender will see his first NHL action since appearing briefly in the 2021-22 NHL Playoffs for the Pittsburgh Penguins. In four games (3-1-0) with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL this season, Domingue has a 1.75 GAA and .934 SV%. The Rangers are -116 home favourites against a Wild team riding a two-game winning strea

With the news that both Jonathan Quick and Igor Shesterkin are dealing with injuries Dylan Garand has been recalled from Hartford (AHL) for the first time in his career. The 21-year-old was the Rangers' 2020 fourth-round pick (103rd overall) and was 3-1-1 with a .914 SV% and 2.63 GAA in five games with Hartford prior to his promotion.

Mackey has been recalled for the second time a week from Hartford (AHL) and will hope to make his Rangers' debut if he finds himself in New York's lineup Thursday vs. Minnesota. The 27-year-old had a goal, an assist, 17 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through seven games with Hartford and returns to the NHL for his fourth NHL season.

Igor Shesterkin (undisclosed) is still day-to-day so Louis Domingue has been recalled from Hartford (AHL) and is expected to dress Thursday vs. Minnesota. The 31-year-old may make his first start of the 2023-24 season after Jonathan Quick (upper body) was also announced injured Wednesday. Domingue was recalled from Hartford, where he was 3-1-0 with a .934 SV% and 1.75 GAA.

Jonathan Quick was announced out day-to-day Wednesday out of the blue and will likely miss their game vs. Minnesota Thursday. The 37-year-old veteran has played exceptional in his first season in New York, with his 3-0-1 record, .935 SV% and 1.77 GAA. With Igor Shesterkin (undisclosed) already on the shelf due to injury, the Rangers are now down to a tandom that includes Louis Domingue and Dylan Garand.

Shesterkin appears to be nearing a return but will sit out for a second consecutive game as he tends to an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old Vezina Trophy winner has had a good start to the season prior to his injury, with his 6-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.36 GAA. Jonathan Quick has manned the starter's crease in Shesterkin's absence.

Quick will get his second consecutive start as Igor Shesterkin will remain out of the lineup on Tuesday with a lower-body injury. On Saturday, Quick allowed four goals on 40 shots as the Rangers gave up a 3-0 lead en route to losing 5-4 in a shootout to the Minnesota Wild. That said, Quick has played well on a whole this season, posting a 1.42 GAA and .948 SV% in four games (2-0-1) but will be put to the test Tuesday against a Detroit Red Wings team that is averaging the sixth-most goals per game this season (3.75).

Shesterkin did not dress for the Rangers' previous game vs. Minnesota and is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury after lightly practicing Monday. The injury designation comes with a sigh of relief as the 2022 Vezina Trophy winner is off to a fantastic start in 2023-24, with his 6-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.36 GAA.
