New York Rangers News

Korpisalo had the night off on Tuesday, a 6-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, but will likely 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.

Kartye will draw in for Kailer Yamamoto on Tuesday as the Kraken look to get fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Kartye has eight goals and seven assists in 49 games this season.

Dorofeyev has not played since before the All-Star break, missing four games with an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old left-winger surpassed his previous career high in games played and points in a season as he's racked up seven goals, 14 points, 63 SOG, and a +5 plus/minus thus far in 29 games played.

The Rangers are rolling, riding a four-game winning streak, mostly without the help of Shesterkin, who served as the backup netminder in all but the most recent victory. That said, the former Vezina-winner will attempt to build off his most recent performance when he saved 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) in a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, his first quality start in his last five outings (2-2-1). The Rangers are -154 home favourites on Monday night against the Calgary Flames, who have outscored their opposition 15-6 during a four-game winning streak.

Shesterkin has not played since January 26th, including serving as the backup to Jonathan Quick in both games since the All-Star break. Shesterkin has struggled all season, including allowing three or more goals in three of his last four games (1-2-1), posting an ugly .846 SV%. The 28-year-old netminder will have a chance to redeem himself in a favourable matchup on Friday as the Rangers are sizeable -297 road favourites against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Even though Anton Forsberg is returning from injury Saturday, Joonas Korpisalo will man the crease for a second straight start after winning his previous contest in a 23-save (.920 SV%) effort. The 29-year-old has struggled in his inaugural season in the Nation's Capital, with his 12-16-2 record, 3.38 GAA and .889 SV%. He will take on Toronto in the battle of Ontario on Saturday, who have won four of their last five contests and are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.45).

Dorofeyev missed the Golden Knight's previous game before the All-Star break and is expected to return to Vegas' practice on Monday but will not be ready to return on Tuesday. The 23-year-old left-winger surpassed his previous career high in games played and points in a season as he's racked up seven goals, 14 points, 63 SOG, and a +5 plus/minus thus far in 29 games played.

Korpisalo was excellent in relief of Mads Sogaard on Monday, saving all 17 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators. Korpisalo has had a forgettable season but has played better lately, allowing three or fewer goals in five of his last six outings (3-1-2), posting a respectable .910 SV%. That said, the Senators are slight -101 road underdogs on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings, winners of two straight, outscoring their opposition 8-2.

Shesterkin will return to the crease for the Rangers on Friday evening in a matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. Shesterkin allowed three goals on 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a disappointing 3-2 overtime loss to the bottom-dwelling San Jose Sharks in his last outing. Shesterkin's reputation as an elite goaltender has not held up this season, especially lately, allowing four or more goals in four of his last nine games (4-4-1), posting an ugly .870 SV%. That said, the Rangers are -155 home favourites against a Golden Knights club with points in five straight (4-0-1).

Dowling will make his Devils' debut on Thursday, having not appeared in the NHL since playing 22 games with Vancouver in the 2021-22 season. Maxwell Willman will sit in his place.

Korpisalo will start for the third time in the last four games when the Senators host the Boston Bruins on Thursday night. The 29-year-old Korpisalo has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last three starts (2-0-1), posting a stellar .935 SV%. The Senators are +123 home underdogs against a Bruins club that suffered a dramatic 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes last night.

The Devils have recalled Dowling from the Utica Comets of the AHL in correspondence to Michael McLeod taking an indefinite leave of absence. The 33-year-old Dowling has 19 points (8G / 11A) in 30 games with Utica this season.

Martin will make his Hurricanes debut on Wednesday after being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jackets last week. Given Antti Raanta's struggles this season, Martin could make a case for some extra work in the absence of Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion), though he didn't look particularly strong during his time in Columbus this season. The 28-year-old netminder posted a 3-8-1 record along with an .887 SV% and a 3.65 GAA in 13 appearances with the Blue Jackets. He draws a brutal assignment in his first start as a Hurricane as he travels to Boston to take on the Bruins.
