Di Pauli made his NHL debut on Saturday and played again on Sunday but will switch places with Andrew Agozzino and head back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where he has six goals and six assists (12 points) in 22 games.
Agozzino takes the place of Thomas Di Pauli, who played in his first two NHL games last week. Agozzino has been Wilkes-Barre/Scranton best offensive weapon this season, scoring a team-leading 14 goals and 31 points in 35 games.
Shesterkin is the Rangers' top goalie prospect and one of the best goalie prospects in the entire NHL. The 24-year-old was a fourth-round pick in 2014 and came over to North America this year. He has dominated at the AHL-level, going 15-4-3 with a 1.93 GAA and .932 SV% and deserves a look at the NHL-level. He had ridiculous numbers in the KHL over the last three seasons, never having a GAA over 1.69 and while posting a .940 SV% and winning 71 of 95 games.
Prosvetov was a fourth-round pick in 2018 and has gone 11-3-0 with a 2.38 GAA and .931 SV% in his first season with Tucson. Prosvetov was called up because Antti Raanta was hurt on Saturday, so he'll serve as the No.2 option behind Adin Hill while Raanta and Darcy Kuemper are sidelined.
With Robin Lehner listed as day-to-day with a right knee injury, Lankinen comes up to serve as Corey Crawford's backup. Lankinen has gone 7-7-1 with a 3.17 GAA and .905 SV% in 15 AHL games.
Anthony Duclair is a game-time decision tonight so Batherson comes up in case he can't go. Batherson has dominated the AHL this season, leading the league with 41 points (13G / 28A) in 33 games.
Street has been a terrific point producer at the AHL-level throughout his career but has just eight points (3G / 5A) in 56 career NHL games with the Flames, Avalanche, Red Wings and Ducks. In his first year with the Devils, Street leads Binghamton with 33 points (13G / 20A) in 33 games. He will centre the third line with Jesper Bratt out with an undisclosed injury on Saturday.
Di Pauli has not appeared in an NHL game since being drafted in the fourth round in 2012 but has six goals and is assists (12 points) in 22 AHL games this season--his fourth AHL season.
DeSmith is not expected to play over the weekend. With a 5:00 pm game on Sunday, Tristan Jarry will remain in Pittsburgh, so DeSmtih will back up Matt Murray in Montreal and Jarry will start the Sunday game.
Carrier was a fourth-round pick in 2015 who has spent most of his career in Milwaukee and has 25 points (4G / 21A) in 34 games this season. The 23-year-old hasn't played in the NHL since 2016-17 but could make his debut this weekend with Ryan Ellis (upper-body) going on IR.
With Adam Pelech out for the rest of the season with an Achilles injury, Aho comes up from Bridgeport for the first time this season. The 23-year-old defenseman has two goals and 18 assists (20 points) in 34 games.
Brannstrom has shown some flashes of what made him a top prospect in the NHL this season but the Senators acquired Mike Reilly from Montreal on Thursday so they could send Brannstrom to the AHL to get some more development time.
Scott was called-up after an injury to Alexandre Texier on Wednesday but did not make his NHL debut because Sonny Milano returned from injury. With 12 healthy forwards on the roster as of now, Scott heads back to the AHL and awaits his next call-up.
Victor Olofsson was hurt on Thursday night, so Wilson has been summoned from the AHL and will likely make his season debut on Saturday afternoon. Wilson has six goals and eight assists (14 points) in 22 AHL games this season.
Kiviranta is in his first year in North America and has tallied 18 points (9G / 9A) in 33 games with Texas this season. Kiviranta's call-up is likely a reaction to the Corey Perry hearing. Perry elbowed Ryan Ellis in the head during the Winter Classic and will likely be suspended for Friday's game, opening the door for Kiviranta to make his NHL debut.
Nathan Beaulieu is out for at least one month so Niku returns to the NHL after picking up 14 points (3G / 11A) in 18 AHL games this season. He has five points (2G / 3A) in 32 career NHL games to-date.
Wideman has scored eight goals with 11 assists (19 points) in 26 AHL games this season. The 29-year-old veteran defenseman played in 25 NHL games with three different teams (OTT, EDM and FLA) in 2018-19 and has 45 points (16G / 29A) in 181 career NHL games.
Luoto has served as a healthy scratch for the last five games, so he'll head to Manitoba to get a chance to play. The 22-year-old has three assists in nine AHL games this season.
Lauzon played one game (15:40 TOI) during his call-up but heads back to the AHL with Torey Krug and likely Charlie McAvoy back in the lineup tonight.
Blidh has yet to play this season after undergoing shoulder surgery in September but will get back up to game-speed with Providence. He spent most of his season there last season, posting 10 goals with 13 assists (23 points) in 74 games.
