Fast, who underwent offseason hip surgery could be cleared for contact in the next couple of weeks, but is not expected to return to the Rangers lineup until late-October. With Fast out, one of the Rangers’ first-round picks, Lias Andersson and/or Filip Chytil, are expected to make the opening night roster.
Andersen allowed two goals on 16 shots before leaving Saturday’s loss in Buffalo. After missing Tuesday’s contest, Andersen is good-to-go tonight in Nashville. He is 6-1-2 with a 2.14 GAA and .936 SV% in his last 10 starts and stopped 32 shots in a 6-2 win in his first start vs. Nashville.

Andersen took part in Monday’s practice and skated this morning as well, but he will not dress tonight with Curtis McElhinney starting. Andersen did not rule out a potential return to the crease on Thursday.
