Shesterkin stopped all 29 shots that he faced in the Rangers' shutout win over the Flames on Tuesday. Shesterkin has won two in a row and is 5-2-1 with a .905 SV% in his last eight games. Today he will face an Islanders team that has gone 3-3-2 while averaging 2.8 goals for and 2.9 goals against per game since hiring Patrick Roy.

Rempe has earned a call-up from Hartford (AHL) and could be in line for his NHL debut. The 21-year-old has 12 points (8G / 4A) and 96 penalty minutes in 43 games with Hartford this season.

Brisson made his NHL debut with the Golden Knights earlier this season, scoring three points (1G / 2A) in seven games. The 22-year-old was the 29th overall pick of the Golden Knights in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

Scanlin is an undrafted 24-year-old out of the University of Nebraska-Omaha. In 43 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL), his third season with the club, Scanlin has 14 points (7G / 7A).

Despite Igor Shesterkin recording a shutout on Monday and having three days before their next game, the Rangers will turn to Quick between the pipes for the fourth time in their last five games. The 38-year-old Quick has been tremendous lately, allowing two or fewer goals in three straight (3-0-0) and posting a stellar .951 SV%. The Rangers, riding a five-game winning streak, are sizeable -245 home favourites against the Montreal Canadiens, the sixth worst offensive team in the league (2.75 GF / GP).

The New York Rangers will continue to dip into their wealth of minor talent as they called up their eighth forward of the season from Hartford (AHL) in Alex Belzile on Wednesday. The 32-year-old winger last appeared in the NHL in 2022-23 with Montreal where he had 14 points (6G/8A) in 31 games. He will serve as a 13th forward for the time being for the Rangers.

Soucy has not played since suffering a hand injury on January 20th and has been retroactively placed on Injured Reserve. 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 three 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.

Tyler Pitlick will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Edstrom to re-enter the Rangers' lineup, his second game of the season. On December 15th, Edstrom made his NHL debut, scoring one goal on three shots while playing 9:39 time-on-ice.

The Rangers are rolling, riding a four-game winning streak, mostly without the help of Shesterkin, who served as the backup netminder in all but the most recent victory. That said, the former Vezina-winner will attempt to build off his most recent performance when he saved 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) in a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, his first quality start in his last five outings (2-2-1). The Rangers are -154 home favourites on Monday night against the Calgary Flames, who have outscored their opposition 15-6 during a four-game winning streak.

Shesterkin has not played since January 26th, including serving as the backup to Jonathan Quick in both games since the All-Star break. Shesterkin has struggled all season, including allowing three or more goals in three of his last four games (1-2-1), posting an ugly .846 SV%. The 28-year-old netminder will have a chance to redeem himself in a favourable matchup on Friday as the Rangers are sizeable -297 road favourites against the Chicago Blackhawks.

de Haan will replace the injured Mikhail Sergachev (leg). de Haan has three goals and four assists in 45 games this season.

Matthew Phillips will replace Aube-Kubel in the Capitals' lineup on Thursday. Aube-Kubel played only 8:09 time-on-ice Tuesday while recording a -1 plus/minus and five hits.

With Jacob Trouba returning from a two-game suspension, Jones will be a healthy scratch for the Rangers on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Jones has been semi-productive from the blueline in limited action with the Rangers this season, scoring five points (1G / 4A) in 17 games.

Quick will return to the crease for his third straight start on Wednesday. The veteran netminder was sensational on Monday night, saving 32 of 33 shots (.970 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime win over the typically high-scoring Colorado Avalanche. Quick has allowed two or fewer goals in his last three starts (2-1-0), posting a tremendous .944 SV%. Quick and the Rangers are -123 home favourites against another top-five offence on Wednesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning, averaging 3.48 goals per game.

The 35-year-old Bonino was averaging 12:15 time-on-ice this season and had been held off the scoresheet in 14 straight games. Assuming he goes unclaimed, the veteran forward will be a free agent after his contract is terminated by the Rangers.
