Igor Shesterkin has struggled in two games (1-1-0) since returning from a lower-body injury, allowing seven goals on 67 shots (.896 SV%), so the Rangers will turn to their veteran backup Quick Wednesday against their division rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins. Quick has proved skeptics wrong early this season, posting a 1.98 GAA and .928 SV% through six appearances (4-0-1), numbers that rival the best posted in any single season over his 17-year career. It is unlikely that Quick maintains these gaudy totals, but the Rangers, who have points in 11 of their last 12 games (10-1-1), are facing a Penguins team that will be without two of their top-six forwards, Rickard Rakell (upper-body) and Bryan Rust (lower-body).

Shesterkin played his first game in over two weeks on Saturday after recovering from a lower-body injury, making 30 saves (.909 SV%) in a 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils, and will start again on Monday against the Dallas Stars. The Rangers are a significantly stronger team with Shesterkin between the pipes but managed to hold down the fort while he was out of the lineup as the team has collected at least a point in 11 straight games (10-0-1). In two games against the Dallas Stars last season (2-0-0), Shesterkin was phenomenal, boasting a 2.03 GAA and .931 SV%.

Shesterkin has missed the Rangers' last four games due to a lower-body injury but will be back between the pipes Saturday in New Jersey. The 27-year-old has been solid as expected prior to his injury, with his 6-2-0 record, 2.36 GAA and .913 SV%. He heads to New Jersey to take on the Devils, who snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory last game and are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.73).

Soucy is averaging 16:52 time-on-ice in his first season with the Canucks, tallying five points (2G / 3A) and +6 plus/minus in 13 games but will be out roughly six-to-eight weeks with a foot injury. In an adjacent move, Vancouver has recalled Akito Hirose from Abbotsford (AHL) on Tuesday, who will likely draw into the lineup in Soucy's absence.

Quick will return to the Rangers' goal on Sunday after missing Thursday's game against the Wild due to an undisclosed injury. The 17-year-veteran has enjoyed a surprise renaissance in New York so far this season, posting a .935 SV% and a 1.77 GAA to go along with his 3-0-1 record. He makes for an excellent spot start on Sunday with the Rangers being a sizable favourite at -250 over the Blue Jackets.

Garand was originally called up as a precautionary measure with Jonathan Quick dealing with an injury in addition to the already-injured Igor Shesterkin. Garand's reassignment to Hartford is a good sign the Quick, Shesterkin, or both are ready to return to the lineup.

With the news that both Jonathan Quick and Igor Shesterkin are dealing with injuries Dylan Garand has been recalled from Hartford (AHL) for the first time in his career. The 21-year-old was the Rangers' 2020 fourth-round pick (103rd overall) and was 3-1-1 with a .914 SV% and 2.63 GAA in five games with Hartford prior to his promotion.

Mackey has been recalled for the second time a week from Hartford (AHL) and will hope to make his Rangers' debut if he finds himself in New York's lineup Thursday vs. Minnesota. The 27-year-old had a goal, an assist, 17 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through seven games with Hartford and returns to the NHL for his fourth NHL season.

Jonathan Quick was announced out day-to-day Wednesday out of the blue and will likely miss their game vs. Minnesota Thursday. The 37-year-old veteran has played exceptional in his first season in New York, with his 3-0-1 record, .935 SV% and 1.77 GAA. With Igor Shesterkin (undisclosed) already on the shelf due to injury, the Rangers are now down to a tandom that includes Louis Domingue and Dylan Garand.

Shesterkin appears to be nearing a return but will sit out for a second consecutive game as he tends to an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old Vezina Trophy winner has had a good start to the season prior to his injury, with his 6-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.36 GAA. Jonathan Quick has manned the starter's crease in Shesterkin's absence.

Quick will get his second consecutive start as Igor Shesterkin will remain out of the lineup on Tuesday with a lower-body injury. On Saturday, Quick allowed four goals on 40 shots as the Rangers gave up a 3-0 lead en route to losing 5-4 in a shootout to the Minnesota Wild. That said, Quick has played well on a whole this season, posting a 1.42 GAA and .948 SV% in four games (2-0-1) but will be put to the test Tuesday against a Detroit Red Wings team that is averaging the sixth-most goals per game this season (3.75).

Shesterkin did not dress for the Rangers' previous game vs. Minnesota and is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury after lightly practicing Monday. The injury designation comes with a sigh of relief as the 2022 Vezina Trophy winner is off to a fantastic start in 2023-24, with his 6-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.36 GAA.
