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 28-year-old Shesterkin has seen his numbers fall over the past few weeks, posting a 2.78 GAA and .914 SV% in 12 games (7-4-1). 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.

The 34-year-old Dowling has primarily been an AHL player but is no stranger to the NHL, with 109 games of experience. He has one assist in nine games with New Jersey this season.

Quick has been excellent in limited action this season and will likely return to the crease on Sunday when the Rangers visit the Seattle Kraken. The 38-year-old Quick has a dazzling 1.17 GAA and .964 SV% in four outings (3-0-0) and is coming off his best performance of the season, a 37-save shutout in a 4-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on November 9th.

Drew Helleson will make his season debut on Friday, replacing Vaakanainen, who is out indefinitely due to an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old Vaakanainen is averaging 13:36 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A), and seven blocks in five games.

Shesterkin has lost his last two contests but will get the opportunity to redeem himself in a favorable matchup against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. The 28-year-old Shesterkin has seen his totals fall to a 2.85 GAA and .913 SV% in 11 games (6-4-1) after allowing 10 goals on 44 shots (.773 SV%) across his previous two outings. Even so, the Rangers enter Thursday's contest as enormous -401 home favorites against the Sharks.

After giving Shesterkin the night off on Saturday, a 4-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings courtesy of a Jonathan Quick shutout, the Rangers will revert to Shesterkin on Tuesday in a battle against the league's first-place team, the Winnipeg Jets. Shesterkin has battled some adversity lately, allowing four or more goals in two of his previous four outings (2-2-0). Even so, Shesterkin has still had an impressive campaign, posting a 2.62 GAA and .920 SV% in 10 games (6-3-1). The Rangers enter the action on Tuesday as -115 home favorites over the Jets.

The Rangers will roll with Shesterkin in the crease for a fourth straight game on Thursday when they host the Buffalo Sabres. Shesterkin is amid another Vezina-caliber season. The 28-year-old Shesterkin has allowed two or fewer goals in six of nine games (6-2-1), translating to an impressive 2.22 GAA and .933 SV%. The Rangers enter the action on Thursday as -195 home favorites against a Sabres club that has lost three of their last four.

Jackson Lacombe will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Vaakanainen to re-enter the lineup for the first time since October 13th. The 25-year-old Vaakanainen played 68 games with the Ducks last season but has been limited to only one through 11 games for the Ducks in 2024-25.

Shesterkin will attempt to snap a two-game losing streak when he returns to the crease for the Rangers on Friday night against the Ottawa Senators. The 28-year-old Shesterkin was busy in his last outing, saving a season-high 41 shots, but allowed four goals (.911 SV%) in the 5-3 losing effort against the Washington Capitals. The Rangers enter the action on Friday as -187 home favorites against the high-scoring Ottawa Senators (4.2 GF / GP).
