The Rangers snapped a two-game losing skid on Saturday courtesy of a stellar performance from Shesterkin and will turn to him again on Monday against the Ottawa Senators. Shesterkin saved 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday, extending his streak of six straight games allowing three or fewer goals (4-2-0). The Rangers enter action as -224 home favourites.
Chytil suffered a setback in his initial attempt to return from an upper-body injury in late January after going down at practice and was ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 season. There is no confirmation whether this initial prognosis has adjusted. Chytil was a major component of the Rangers offence, scoring 22 goals and 45 points as a 23-year-old in 2022-23.
The Rangers' three-game winning streak was snapped on Tuesday and they will turn to Quick between the pipes on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Quick has won five straight, including saving 31 of 34 shots (.912 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on April 5th. The Rangers enter action as -201 home favourites.
Jones has appeared in only one of the Rangers' previous three games and will return to the press box on Tuesday as Erik Gustafsson returns to the lineup. The 23-year-old has set career highs in almost all statistical categories in 2023-24, with two goals, nine points, 42 SOG, eight PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 31 games played.
Rempe will continue his pattern of going in and out of the Rangers' lineup on Tuesday as he is replaced by Jack Roslovic vs. the New York Islanders. The 21-year-old has been the talk of the NHL with his aggressive style this season and has a goal, an assist, 11 SOG and 69 PIMs in 15 games played.
Roslovic will return to New York's lineup after one game and has stated he is "a little more motivated" as he replaces Matt Rempe on Tuesday. The 27-year-old was acquired at the trade deadline and has settled in decently with his two goals, seven points, 22 SOG, and two PIMs in 15 games since being dealt.
Gustafsson was a healthy scratch for the Rangers' previous game but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday vs. the Islanders as he replaces Zac Jones. The 32-year-old has had an up-and-down first season in New York, with six goals, 24 assists, 86 SOG, 35 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 72 games played.
Shesterkin will look to extend his two-game win streak as he takes the Rangers' crease for the third time in four games on Tuesday vs. interstate rivals, the New York Islanders. The 28-year-old will look for his 35th win of the season on Tuesday for a third straight season as he has a 34-16-2 record, 2.64 GAA and .911 SV%. He'll host the red-hot New York Islanders, who have won their last four games but are 23rd in the NHL in goals per game (2.95).
The Rangers will turn to Quick for the second time in the last four games as the Rangers visit the Detroit Red Wings. Quick struggled in his last outing, allowing five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%), but received adequate offensive support from his team in an eventual 8-5 win over the Arizona Coyotes. The Rangers enter on Friday as -137 road favourites.
Matt Rempe will be a healthy scratch on Friday, allowing Brodzinski to draw back into the lineup. Brodzinski has been held off the scoresheet in five of the last six games.
Jonny Brodzinski will draw back into the lineup on Friday, making Rempe a healthy scratch. Rempe was ejected from Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils after receiving a fighting major only two seconds into the contest.
