A steadying presence on the blue line, Soucy has been limited to only 21 games this season due to an earlier lower-body injury and is five weeks into his original five-to-six-week prognosis. The 29-year-old has six points (2G / 4A), 21 hits, and 39 blocks this season.

Shesterkin was on the wrong end of a 4-3 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, snapping his seven-game winning streak, but will return to the crease on Monday.

The Rangers are +114 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers squad riding a four-game winning streak.

Shesterkin will look to extend New York's eight-game winning streak as he takes the crease for a third-straight start on Thursday in New Jersey. The 28-year-old all-star has surprisingly been the lesser of the Rangers' two starters this season, with his 23-12-1 record, 2.79 GAA and .904 SV%. He'll head right down the road to take on the New Jersey Devils, who have lost two of their last three games and rank 10th in the NHL in both goals per game (3.36) and shots per game (31.9).
