With the announcement that Igor Shesterkin will be out day-to-day with a lower-body injury, New York has recalled Louis Domingue from Hartford (AHL). The 31-year-old veteran netminder was enjoying a successful early season run with Hartford, as he is 3-1-0 with a .934 SV% and 1.75 GAA.
After a collision with Sebastian Aho of the Carolina Hurricanes, Fox left Thursday's game after playing only 6:01. He is expected to be reevaluated on Friday and would be a crushing loss for the Rangers if he is to miss any time. Fox has 11 points (3G / 8A) while averaging 21:04 time-on-ice through 10 games this season.
Brodzinski was off to an electric start with the Hartford Wolf Pack at the AHL level, recording 11 points (6G / 5A) in seven games, and has now been recalled by the Rangers. Brodzinski has played 39 games across the previous two seasons with the Rangers, tallying four points (2G / 2A).
Shesterkin will be the starter on Thursday as he looks for his fourth consecutive victory. Shesterkin has been lights-out during his current three-game winning streak, allowing only six goals total and posting a .932 SV%. The Rangers in general are off to a fabulous start to the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 7-2-0 record, but will be challenged tonight as they welcome the Carolina Hurricanes, who have outscored their opposition 9-4 over their last three games (3-0-0).

Shesterkin will be the starter for the Rangers on Monday as they face off in Winnipeg against the Jets (-120 road favourites). The 2021-22 Vezina trophy winner has been very pedestrian between the pipes to start the 2023-24 campaign, recording a 2.70 GAA and .900 SV% through six games (4-2-0). As long as he continues to garner wins, the Rangers won't be too particular about the finer details of his game but expect Shesterkin to elevate his game nearer to his career average of 2.39 GAA and .923 SV%.

Shesterkin allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Rangers' win in Calgary on Tuesday. Shesterkin was given Thursday night off, so he'll face the Canucks tonight in Vancouver. The Canucks come into the night with the fourth-most goals/60 (4.00) in the NHL.

Quick gets a somewhat surprising nod on Thursday given starter Igor Shesterkin is coming off one of his best starts of the season on Tuesday against the Flames. Quick has just one start and two appearances to his name on the year but has performed well when called upon. His last start came on Saturday against the Kraken where he stopped 18 of the 19 shots he faced enroute to a 4-1 victory.
Shesterkin will return to the starter's crease on Tuesday after making way for Rangers' backup goalie Jonathan Quick to make his first start of the season on Saturday, a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken. In four games this season, Shesterkin has struggled to find his Vezina-caliber form, posting a 3.14 GAA and .879 SV%. Shesterkin, who has never posted a sub- .916 SV% in any of his previous four NHL seasons, will look to get back on track Tuesday against a Calgary Flames team that has lost four of their last five (1-2-1).

Ruhwedel failed to pick up a point or shot in any of his first five games played while averaging just 11:48 TOI and will be the odd man out of the Penguins' lineup Tuesday vs. Dallas. The 33-year-old defenseman is being replaced by John Ludvig, who will be making his NHL debut. When Ruhwedel does return to the Pittsburgh lineup he will be looking to improve on his -3 plus/minus.
Quick has only appeared in one game for the Rangers this season and stopped all nine of nine shots against in a relief appearance vs. Nashville. The 37-year-old is in his 17th NHL season and has a 375-277-84 career record with a .911 SV% and a 2.47 GAA. He will face the Seattle Kraken Saturday, who snapped a four-game losing skid with a victory last game but are struggling to score ranking 28th in the NHL in goals for per game (2.0).
Shesterkin is coming off a season-high 26-save, 2-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes and will look to record consecutive victories for the first time this season. Shesterkin has started all three contests for the Rangers thus far and should continue to see the lion's share of action going forward. Shesterkin looks poised for a strong performance tonight as the Rangers are -182 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has struggled out of the gate, being outscored 14-9 in their first four games of the season (1-3-0).

In three games with the Rangers this season, Bonino is averaging 11:07 time-on-ice, the lowest total for the 15-year veteran since the 2010-11 season. He has zero points and eight blocks playing primarily as the fourth-line center. Bonino's status remains uncertain for the Rangers' Thursday night matchup against the Nashville Predators.
Kaliyev will make his season debut after serving a four-game suspension issued to him during the preseason for a knee infraction against Chase De Leo of the Anaheim Ducks. The skilled right-winger is expected to line up on the Kings' third line with Trevor Moore and Phillip Danault. Last season, Kaliyev scored a career-high 28 points (13G / 15A) in 56 games while averaging only 11:41 time-on-ice.
Lindgren returns to the Rangers lineup after missing Saturday's contest against the Blue Jackets due to the upper-body injury. The 25-year-old blue-liner registered one goal and 17 assists to go along with an impressive +29 rating in 63 games with the Rangers last season. He is expected to skate alongside Adam Fox at 5v5 on the team's second pair.
