Jonathan Quick was the first goalie off the ice at the Sabres' morning skate.

Quick has turned back time this season, grossly outplayed Igor Shesterkin, and will likely start for the Rangers on the front end of a back-to-back on Friday. The 37-year-old Quick has been nearly unbeatable this season, winning his last seven starts while posting a serviceable .916 SV%. Quick's 2.09 GAA and .926 SV% surpass anything he has ended the season with throughout his illustrious career. The Rangers will look for their fourth straight win as -116 home favourites against an Oilers team that snapped a three-game skid last night, courtesy of a 6-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils.

Shesterkin will start in Toronto on Tuesday.

Shesterkin has struggled this season but is coming off one of his stronger performances, saving 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday. His 2.91 GAA and .904 SV% through 18 games (11-7-0) are well below what is expected of the 2021-22 Vezina winner. Shesterkin and the Rangers are slight -102 road underdogs on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, who defeated them 7-3 one week ago. The Maple Leafs have scored 19 goals over their last three games (2-0-1) and are the hottest team in the NHL over the last five weeks (10-1-4).

Ruhwedel (upper-body) will play against the Wild on Monday.

Ruhwedel will make his return from a 13-game absence due to a lower-body injury, playing his first game since November 19th. The 33-year-old stay-at-home defenseman has an assist, nine SOG, two PIMs, and a -3 plus/minus in 15 games before the injury this season.

Bonino (illness) is listed as a scratch for Friday's game against Anaheim.

Bonino was a very late scratch on Friday, having taken the line rushes in warmups before ultimately deciding he was unable to go. He has one goal and three assists in 27 games this season. Rookie Adam Edstrom will make his NHL debut on Friday in place of Bonino.

Jonathan Quick will start Friday vs. Anaheim.

Quick will draw his second start in three games Friday as he looks to keep his impeccable 8-0-1 record in check vs. Anaheim. The 37-year-old has turned back the clock in his first year in New York, with his best SV% (.922) since 2011-12 and best GAA (2.20) since 2013-14. He takes on the plummeting Anaheim Ducks, who have lost four straight games and are struggling offensively being 29th in the NHL in goals per game (2.61).

Adam Edstrom has been recalled from the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL).

Edstrom had seven goals, two assists, 14 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 21 games with Hartford (AHL) and has earned his first NHL call up Friday. The 23-year-old Swedish forward was the Rangers 2019 sixth-round pick (161st overall) and came over after four seasons with Rogle BK of the SHL in 2022-23.

K'Andre Miller (personal) was back at practice Thursday and is a possibility to rejoin the Rangers' lineup Friday vs. Anaheim.

Miller had played all 26 games for the Rangers before Tuesday's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which he missed due to personal reasons. Miller has 12 points (5G / 7A), 34 blocks, and 24 hits this season, skating primarily alongside Jacob Trouba.
