Shesterkin will start in Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

The Rangers have had a wildly inconsistent 2025-26 season, struggling to score, but have won two of their last three (2-1-0), and will turn to Shesterkin on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 29-year-old Shesterkin played well in his most recent outing, saving 27 of 30 shots (.900 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Nashville Predators. He has a 2.46 GAA and .909 SV% in 13 games this season (5-6-1). The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +123 road underdogs against a Lightning team that has won seven of their last eight (7-1-0).

Trocheck (upper-body) is expected to return vs. Nashville on Monday.

Trocheck has not played since suffering an upper-body injury in the second game of the season, but will return to the lineup on Monday against the Nashville Predators. The 32-year-old Trocheck recorded 59 points (26G / 33A), 202 shots, and 214 hits in 82 games last season. Before his injury, he was playing on the team's top powerplay unit, but it appears that role has, at least temporarily, been taken by Will Cuylle.

Shesterkin will start vs. Nashville on Monday.

The Rangers are an abysmal 0-6-1 on home ice this season, shut out five times, and desperately hope for their first win at Madison Square Garden on Monday, turning to Igor Shesterkin when they host the Nashville Predators. Despite an underwhelming 4-6-2 record, Shesterkin has been serviceable in the Rangers' crease this season, posting a 2.41 GAA and .909 SV% in 12 games. The Rangers enter Monday's contest as -180 home favorites against a Predators team that is 1-3-2 on the road this season.

Parssinen is expected to be a healthy scratch vs. Nashville on Monday.

After being shut out for the fifth time in only 16 games this season, the Rangers are shaking up their lineup and sending Parssinen to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Parssinen had a surprising rookie season with the Nashville Predators in 2022-23, scoring an impressive 25 points (6G / 19A) in 45 games, but has not maintained that success in three seasons since, scoring only 31 points (16G / 15A) in 104 games.

Edstrom is expected to draw back into the Rangers' lineup vs. Nashville on Monday.

After being shut out for the fifth time in only 16 games this season, the Rangers are shaking up their lineup and inserting Edstrom back into their lineup. The 25-year-old forward has tallied only two points (0G / 2A) in 14 games this season.

Adam Edstrom
Perreault is expected to make his season debut vs. Nashville on Monday.

The Rangers' offensive struggles have been well documented this season, especially on home ice, and as such, they have recalled Perreault, their top prospect, from the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL). The 20-year-old Perreault, the 23rd overall pick by the Rangers in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, has 10 points (5G / 5A) in nine games with Hartford this season. He is expected to suit up on a line with Mika Zibanejad and J.T. Miller.

Quick will start in Detroit on Friday.

The Rangers suffered their fourth shutout loss through 14 games this season (6-6-2) and hope the veteran presence of Jonathan Quick between the pipes can return them to the win column. The 39-year-old Quick has been used sparingly early in the 2025-26 season, but has been excellent when called upon, posting a stellar 1.35 GAA and a .941 SV% in three games (2-1-0). The Rangers enter Friday's contest as +107 road underdogs against a Red Wings team that is 5-1-0 on home ice this season.

Chmelar was a fifth-round pick of the Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and will make his NHL debut on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings. The towering 6'5 Czech forward scored 29 points (12G / 17A) in 71 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) last season. Adam Edstrom will exit the lineup to accommodate Chmelar's debut.

Jaroslav Chmelar
Trocheck (upper-body) will travel with the team to Detroit but is not expected to play.

Trocheck has not played since suffering an upper-body injury in the second game of the season, but appears to be making strides for returning after returning to practice this week. The 32-year-old Trocheck scored 59 points (26G / 33A) in 82 games last season.
