New York Rangers News

Miller did not play in New York's most recent game due to an upper-body injury and could miss a second consecutive contest on Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 32-year-old Miller is averaging 20:41 time-on-ice, over three minutes more than his career average (17:35), but has struggled immensely in the offensive department this season, scoring only 12 points (6G / 6A) in 22 games despite being well-above a point-per-game player in his last five seasons.

Shesterkin was already seeing a heavy workload, but with Jonathan Quick (lower body) on IR, expect him to see nearly all of the action until Quick returns. The 29-year-old Shesterkin has been inconsistent this season, mirroring the Rangers' team game, but was serviceable in his most recent outing, saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. He has a 2.50 GAA and .909 SV% in 18 games this season (8-8-2). The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +165 road underdogs against a Hurricanes team that defeated them 3-0 earlier this month.

Quick has been excellent in a supporting role this season, posting an absurd 1.69 GAA and .944 SV% in six games (3-3-0). The veteran 39-year-old goalie saved 31 of 34 shots (.912 SV%) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth. He was absent from practice on Monday and was subsequently placed on Injured Reserve. We await further news from the Rangers on the severity of his injury, or lack thereof, but he will be sidelined for at least one week before he is eligible to be activated from IR.

Trocheck has already missed 14 games this season due to an upper-body injury, but thankfully, it appears he will be in the lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Blues. The 32-year-old Trocheck has been solid in limited action this season, recording seven points (3G / 4A) and 35 hits, but he only has 11 shots through nine games.

Iorio was recently sent to the AHL for a conditioning loan, where has has seven points (0G / 7A) in six games with the San Jose Barracuda. The 23-year-old defenseman was drafted 55th overall by the Washington Capitals in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and is still working on becoming a full-time NHLer with the Sharks.

Trocheck has already missed 14 games this season due to an upper-body injury, and could be at risk of missing another, questionable for Monday's game against the St. Louis Blues. The 32-year-old Trocheck has been solid in limited action this season, recording seven points (3G / 4A) and 35 hits, but he only has 11 shots through nine games.

The Rangers look to snap a four-game losing streak on Monday, hoping Shesterkin can re-find his game in a matchup against the St. Louis Blues. The 29-year-old Shesterkin has allowed three or more goals in five of his last season games (3-3-0), posting a .898 SV%. The 29-year-old goalie has a 2.53 GAA and .909 SV% in 17 games this season (7-8-2). The Rangers are -139 home favorites against a Blues team that has only scored seven goals in their last four games (1-2-1).

Quick has been excellent in a supporting role this season, posting an absurd 1.69 GAA and .944 SV% in six games this season (3-3-0). The veteran 39-year-old goalie saved 31 of 34 shots (.912 SV%) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth. He was absent from practice on Monday as we await further news from the Rangers regarding the severity, or lack thereof, of his injury.

The Rangers have lost two straight and hope to return to the win column on Thursday with Shesterkin tending the twine against the red-hot Colorado Avalanche. The 29-year-old Shesterkin has a serviceable 2.43 GAA and .911 SV% in 16 gams (7-7-2), but has been unspectacular lately, allowing three or more goals in four of his last five games (3-2-0) while posting a .903 SV%. The Rangers enter the action on Thursday as +180 road underdogs against an Avalanche team on a six-game winning streak.

Adam Edstrom draws back into New York's lineup on Thursday against Colorado, resulting in Parssinen returning to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Parssinen had a surprising rookie season with the Nashville Predators in 2022-23, scoring an impressive 25 points (6G / 19A) in 45 games, but has not maintained that success in three seasons since, scoring only 31 points (16G / 15A) in 105 games.

Juuso Parssinen will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche, allowing Edstrom to re-enter the lineup. Edstrom is yet to score a goal and has just two assists in 18 games this season.
