The Rangers have won two straight and will roll with Shesterkin between the pipes on Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Shesterkin wasn't heavily tested in his most recent outing but saved 15 of 17 shots (.882 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins. Before that outing, the 29-year-old netminder was going through a troubling stretch where he allowed four or more goals in three straight (0-3-0), posting an ugly .806 SV%. The Rangers enter Friday's contest as -187 home favorites against a Penguins squad that will be without Sidney Crosby (upper body).

de Haan will slot in for Keaton Middleton on Thursday when the Avalanche travel to Calgary to take on the flames. de Haan has zero goals and eight assists in 38 games this season.

Jones will slot in for Urho Vaakanainen, who was a late scratch on Wednesday due to an illness. Jones has one goal and seven assists in 26 games this season, and has not appeared in a game since December 23rd.

Vaakanainen was a surprise scratch on Wednesday, with the Rangers not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Zac Jones will draw into the lineup in his place.

The Rangers snapped a three-game losing skid on Sunday with Jonathan Quick between the pipes in a 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights, but the team will revert to Shesterkin on Wednesday against the Bruins. The 29-year-old Shesterkin seemed to be turning a corner on a disappointing season, posting a .948 SV% over a seven-game stretch (6-0-1) before following that up by allowing 14 goals in his next three games (0-3-0) and posting a horrid .806 SV%. The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as sizeable -200 home favorites against a Bruins team that played last night, defeating the Minnesota Wild 3-0.

Edstrom was limited to only 4:22 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins due to a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old Edstrom is averaging 9:16 time-on-ice and has nine points (4G / 5A) in 51 games this season. He will hope to return to the ice before the end of the regular season.

After being acquired from the Canucks on Friday night, Miller will suit up Saturday afternoon in Boston. It will be the first time Miller plays for the Rangers since February 25th, 2018 and he comes in with 35 points (9G / 26A) in 40 games this season. It's unclear where he will slot into the lineup and who his linemates will be.

A sixth-round draft pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Dorrington is yet to make his professional debut. He is currently playing in his third season with Northeastern University of the NCAA. Dorrington has eight goals and 20 assists in 81 career NCAA games.

Perhaps the most anticipated trade of the 2024-25 NHL season, Miller has finally been relocated back to the Big Apple, waiving his no-trade clause to rejoin the Rangers. On a per game basis, Miller is one of the most productive Canucks of all time, joining Pavel Bure as the organization's only other player to finish their Canuck careers with more than a point per game. Some dressing room turmoil quite obviously led to Miller's early departure, and although he's fallen off from the 102-point player he was a season ago, he's still managed 35 points (9G/26A) in 40 games this season. He brings a much needed offensive boost to a team that desperately needs it in the underperforming Rangers.

Miller will likely be held out of the lineup due to a potential trade in the works. Frank Seravalli has reported that Miller has verbally agreed to waive his no-trade clause to return to the Rangers, and the two teams are working towards completing a deal.

Aube-Kubel has been in and out of the lineup for the Sabres this season, scoring two points (1G / 1A) in 19 contests. The 28-year-old forward has 80 points (32G / 48A) in 301 career NHL games.

Keaton Middleton will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the New York Islanders, accommodating de Haan's return to the lineup. The 33-year-old de Haan has not played since January 20th. He is averaging 15:03 time-on-ice and has seven points (0G / 7A) in 37 games this season.

The Rangers' 10-game point streak snapped in their previous outing (7-1-3), and they will roll with Shesterkin between the pipes on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Shesterkin struggled in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 22 shots (.773 SV%), including the game-deciding goal in the final seconds of a 5-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Before that contest, Shesterkin performed excellently, allowing three or fewer goals in seven straight (6-0-1) while posting a .948 SV%. The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as +125 home underdogs against a Hurricanes squad with points in five straight (4-0-1).
