Raddysh has been recalled from Hartford (AHL).

Raddysh spent most of the 2025-26 season with the Rangers, but has started 2026-27 with Hartford (AHL), where he has five points (3G / 2A) in five games. The 28-year-old forward has 119 points (52G / 67A) in 373 career NHL games. Jaroslav Chmelar has been sent to Hartford in a corresponding move.

Garand will start in New Jersey on Thursday.

The season-ending injury to Igor Shesterkin sparked panic among the Rangers faithful, but rookie Dylan Garand has been an impressive replacement so far. The 24-year-old Garand was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has a stellar 1.15 GAA and .951 SV% in four games (3-1-0). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a New Jersey Devils team that has scored fewer than two goals in three of their last five games (2-3-0).

Beaudoin has been reassigned to Hartford (AHL).

Beaudoin was drafted 24th overall by Utah in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and made his NHL debut this season. The 20-year-old forward is averaging 8:47 time-on-ice and has zero points in four games. Justin Dowling was recalled from Hartford in a corresponding move.

Dowling has been recalled from Hartford (AHL).

Garand will start Tuesday vs. the Lightning.

With Igor Shesterkin (lower body) out for the season, and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) still several weeks away from returning, Garand has been thrust into the spotlight for the Rangers. The 24-year-old goalie cleared waivers earlier this season, but now thrives as the Rangers' de facto starter. Garand saved 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in his previous outing, a 6-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks to improve to 2-1-0 with a 1.20 GAA and .945 SV% this season. The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as +144 home underdogs against the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are riding a four-game winning streak.

Shesterkin will start in Washington on Friday.

Shesterkin was named the NHL's opening-week first star after posting a stellar 1.67 GAA and .934 SV% in three games (2-1-0), capping it by scoring his first career goal into an empty net. The 30-year-old Russian goalie has continued his winning ways since, saving 17 of 19 shots (.895 SV%) in the Rangers' previous outing, a 5-2 win over the New York Islanders. The Rangers, riding a league-best four-game winning streak, enter Friday's contest as +129 road underdogs against a 2-1-0 Washington Capitals team.
