Shesterkin was yanked after allowing five goals on 23 shots in the Rangers loss to the Devils on Saturday.

Korpisalo has been out since December 29th but comes back up after a one-game conditioning stint. Korpisalo, who was red-hot before he got hurt, stopped 32 of 34 shots in a winning effort in his game with Cleveland. Elvis Merzlikins has had a more difficult time recently, so Korpisalo should get a decent workload upon his return.
Reimer left Saturday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return. He was replaced by Petr Mrazek, who also got hurt. That left the Hurricanes to turn to 42-year-old Zamboni driver David Ayres for the final period and a half. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters postgame that Reimer will be out a while, so look for Alex Nedeljkovic to be recalled from Charlotte (AHL).
