Othmann is expected to skate on a line with Nick Bonino and Jonny Brodzinski in his NHL debut on Thursday. The 20-year-old Othmann was the 16th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and has 23 points (9G / 14A) in 28 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL this season.

With the news of Tyler Pitlick (lower body) being out week-to-week, Brennan Othmann has been recalled from Hartford (AHL) for the first time in his career. The 20-year-old left-winger is the Rangers' 2021 first-round pick (16th overall) and had nine goals and 23 points in 28 games with Hartford prior to his promotion.

The Rangers are slight -113 home favourites against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has won three straight, outscoring their opposition 13-7.

Martin entered Friday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs in relief, saving 16 of 19 shots (.842 SV%) in an eventual 6-5 victory, but has not started a game since December 7th, when he allowed seven goals on 36 shots (.806 SV%) in a 7-3 loss to the New York Islanders. Martin is slated to start on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins, who he was terrific against on November 27th, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) in a 5-2 victory. That said, the Blue Jackets are still sizeable +196 home underdogs against a Bruins team that has outscored their opposition 14-6 over their last three games (3-0-0).

Quick will start for only the second time in the last six games for the Rangers when they visit the Florida Panthers on Friday.

That said, the Rangers, winners of two straight, are +121 road underdogs against a Panthers team that has also won two in a row.

Gavrikov was considered week-to-week when he was placed on the injured reserve on December 15th but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks.

Shesterkin is riding a three-game winning streak and will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals.

The Rangers are sizeable -204 home favourites on Wednesday against the Capitals, despite being shut out 4-0 against them earlier this month.
