The Rangers are amid a season-worst four-game losing skid and will turn to Shesterkin between the pipes for the third straight game. The 2021-22 Vezina Trophy winner has played well below expectations lately, allowing three or more goals in six of his last seven games (2-5-0), posting an ugly .880 SV%. That said, Shesterkin has a sublime 2.23 GAA and .934 SV% in 12 career games (8-3-1) against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Luke Evangelista will draw back into the lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers, resulting in Parssinen being a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Parssinen is averaging 12:24 time-on-ice and has five points (2G / 3A) in 13 games this season.
Brodzinski was a healthy scratch in favor of Matt Rempe on Monday but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Brodzinski played the previous four games for the Rangers, tallying one point (0G / 1A).
Shesterkin has not been his usual dominant self lately, allowing three or more goals in five of his last six (2-4-0). He will attempt to redeem himself on Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 28-year-old Shesterkin started the season with a .933 SV% in his first nine games (6-2-1) but has fallen off to an ugly .882 SV% in his last six (2-4-0). The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest +165 road underdogs against a Hurricanes club coming off an impressive come-from-behind 6-4 victory over the Dallas Stars.
Rempe played a season-high 9:26 time-on-ice in his fourth game of the season Monday but will return to the AHL. In a corresponding move, the Rangers recalled Chad Ruhwedel from the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL).
After having the night off in the Rangers' previous game, Shesterkin will return to the crease on Monday night against the St. Louis Blues. Despite an unimpressive November by Shesterkin's standards, posting a .905 SV%, he has played better lately, posting a .920 SV% in his previous three outings (2-1-0). The Rangers, without Chris Kreider (upper body), enter Monday's contest as sizeable -208 home favorites against a St. Louis Blues team playing their first game with new head coach Jim Montgomery.
Rempe has only played three games with the Rangers this season but will re-enter the lineup after being recalled from Hartford (AHL) on Monday, replacing Jonny Brodzinski. The 22-year-old has three points (2G / 1A) in 10 games with Hartford.

Berard was a fifth-round pick (No.134 overall) in 2020 and could make his NHL debut on Monday vs. the Blues. Berard is currently leading the Hartford Wolf Pack with 13 points (7G / 6A) through 16 games. His call-up suggests that Filip Chytil will remain out on Monday.
Leschyshyn did not appear in any games for New York during his brief call up and has been reassinged to Hartford (AHL) on Friday. The 25-year-old last appeared in an NHL game on January 11th 2024 but returns to Hartford where he had a goal and four points in 13 games prior to his call up.
The Rangers will likely turn to Shesterkin between the pipes on Thursday against the Calgary Flames. Shesterkin has struggled lately, posting a .842 SV% in his last four games (2-2-0) after being excellent in his first nine (6-2-1) with a .933 SV%. The Rangers, winners of three straight, enter the action on Thursday as -150 road favorites against a Flames club on a two-game winning streak despite scoring only three total goals.
Jonathan Quick has consecutive shutouts, and Shesterkin has allowed five goals in two of his last three games, but the Rangers will turn to Shesterkin between the pipes for the third time in the previous four games.

The Rangers enter the action on Tuesday as -123 road favorites against a Vancouver Canucks club without J.T. Miller (personal).
Miller will be away from the team with no definitive timeline to return due to personal reasons. The 31-year-old Miller had been centering the top line and top powerplay unit in Vancouver and scored 16 points (6G / 10A) in 17 games, leading all forwards on the team.
