New York Rangers News

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).

Gustav Lindstrom will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Vaakanainen to re-enter the lineup after not playing on Monday. The 25-year-old Vaakanainen has nine points (1G / 8A), 48 shots, and 56 hits in 46 games this season.

Korpisalo will man the Senators' crease for the third time in four games after backing up Anton Forsberg in Ottawa's previous game. The 29-year-old is in the first of a five-year, $20 million contract in the offseason and has been highly underperforming with his 13-18-2 record, 3.41 GAA and .887 SV%. He takes on one of the NHL's hottest teams in Florida, who has won five straight and nine of their last 10 while leading the NHL in shots on goal per game (34.0).

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.

Jackson Lacombe will draw back into the lineup on Monday, sending Vaakanainen to the press box as a healthy scratch. Vaakanainen has nine points (1G / 8A), 48 shots, and 56 blocks in 46 games this season.

Frederick Andersen temporarily occupied the starter's crease at the Hurricanes' morning skate on Monday, indicating he is nearing a return, but Martin tend the twine for the second straight contest. Martin has been excellent in two games with the Hurricanes, notably on Saturday when he saved 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The Hurricanes are significant -435 home favourites on Monday against a Chicago Blackhawks club that snapped an eight-game losing streak on Saturday.

Shesterkin stopped all 29 shots that he faced in the Rangers' shutout win over the Flames on Tuesday. Shesterkin has won two in a row and is 5-2-1 with a .905 SV% in his last eight games. Today he will face an Islanders team that has gone 3-3-2 while averaging 2.8 goals for and 2.9 goals against per game since hiring Patrick Roy.

Raddysh missed practice on Friday due to a right quad injury and will be a game-time decision on Saturday as Chicago hosts Ottawa. The 25-year-old winger is having an incredibly disappointing 2023-24 season, with five goals, 11 points, 83 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -11 plus/minus through 49 games played. If he is able to go, he will take his usual spot on Chicago's third line and 2nd powerplay unit.

Rempe has earned a call-up from Hartford (AHL) and could be in line for his NHL debut. The 21-year-old has 12 points (8G / 4A) and 96 penalty minutes in 43 games with Hartford this season.

Korpisalo had the night off on Tuesday, a 6-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, but will return to the crease on Thursday as the Senators attempt to extend their four-game winning streak. Korpisalo has been excellent lately, winning three straight while allowing three or fewer goals in each and posting a .935 SV%. The Senators are sizeable -202 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks squad that was limited to only 13 shots on goal in their last contest, a 5-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
