Shesterkin will start against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

Shesterkin has a decent 2.83 GAA and .908 SV% through 16 games (10-6-0) but has quietly been outperformed by veteran backup Jonathan Quick. Shesterkin has allowed nine goals on his last 64 shots (.859 SV%) and he struggled to showcase the elite form he has possessed in previous seasons. That said, the Rangers have still been able to string together a terrific season and are -166 home favourites against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that lost 4-3 in overtime last night to the New York Islanders.

Vladislav Gavrikov (lower body) is day-to-day.

Gavrikov left the Kings' previous game Sunday after just 6:36 TOI due to a lower-body injury and will miss Wednesday vs. Winnipeg as he is considered day-to-day. The 28-year-old defensemen is having one of the strongest offensive seasons of his seven year career, with three goals, six assists, 29 SOG, six PIMs and a +8 plus/minus in 25 games prior to his injury.

Shesterkin will start in Ottawa on Tuesday.

Shesterkin will start on Tuesday after having the night off in the back end of a back-to-back on Sunday. The 27-year-old Russian netminder has elevated his game recently after a sluggish start, by his standards, to the season. Shesterkin has won three of his last four outings (3-1-0), allowing only 10 goals and posting a .929 SV%. The Rangers are -139 road favourites as they visit an Ottawa Senators team coming off a 2-0 shutout victory over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday.

Quick will start against the Sharks on Sunday.

Quick will start the tail-end of the Rangers' back-to-back after Igor Shesterkin led the team to a 4-3 victory over the Predators on Saturday. It will be Quick's first start since last Saturday against the Bruins, when he allowed four goals on 31 shots enroute to a 7-4 win. The 37-year-old netminder has been stellar when called upon this season, posting a 6-0-1 record and a .930 SV%. He draws an ideal matchup on Sunday with the Rangers being -400 favourites over the Sharks.

Conor Sheary (upper body) is expected to return for Tampa's upcoming Western Canada road trip.

Sheary has not played since November 7th but is targeting a December 9th return when the team heads out for a road trip through Western Canada. In 13 games this season, Sheary has three points (1G / 2A), playing up and down the lineup, predominantly alongside Luke Glendening and Michael Eyssimont on the fourth line.

Fox (lower-body) will return to the Rangers' lineup on Wednesday.

Fox has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 10 games and has not played since November 2nd. During his absence, Fox has been replaced on the Rangers' top powerplay by Erik Gustafsson, who has performed admirably, scoring 10 points (1G / 9A). That said, Gustafsson was averaging 2:46 less time-on-ice before Fox was injured, scoring only four points (2G / 2A) in 10 games, which is closer to what can be expected from him after Fox returns.

Igor Shesterkin will start Wednesday vs. Detroit.

Shesterkin will return to the crease on Wednesday after allowing four goals on 38 shots (.895 SV%) in his last contest, a 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. During his Vezina-winning 2021-22 season, Shesterkin allowed four or more goals only seven times the entire season (53 games), a considerably stronger ratio than the four times he has allowed four or more in 12 games this season. That said, Shesterkin looks poised to rebound on Wednesday as the Rangers are -191 home favourites against a Detroit Red Wings team that will be without leading scorer Dylan Larkin.

Adam Edstrom has been reassigned to Hartford (AHL).

Edstrom did not see any NHL time during his very brief call up and will head back to Hartford (AHL) on Tuesday. The 23-year-old forward has yet to make his NHL debut but heads back to Hartford, where he had seven goals, two assists, 14 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus in 18 games prior to his promotion.
