Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at New York's morning skate.

Shesterkin will return to New York's crease after he took the night off on Sunday and will look to continue his personal three game winning streak in Vegas on Tuesday. The 29-year-old netminder has been back to his Vezina winning form of years previous in 2025-26, posting a 7-6-2 record with a 2.39 GAA and a .913 SV% in 15 starts this season. He heads to Vegas to take on the struggling Golden Knights, who have lost five of their last six games.

Del Gaizo has been reassigned to Laval (AHL).

With Kaiden Guhle (partially torn adductor muscle) out for 8-10 weeks, the Canadiens recalled Del Gaizo from Laval (AHL) for precautionary reasons, but he did not draw into the lineup. Del Gaizo played a career-high 46 games with the Nashville Predators last season, scoring nine points (2G / 7A), but was unable to crack Montreal's roster to start the season.

Martin has cleared waivers and been assigned to Hartford (AHL).

The Rangers added some organizational goalie depth on Wednesday, signing Martin to a two-year contract. The 30-year-old goalie has primarily played in the AHL, but has a 3.56 GAA and .883 SV% in 66 career NHL games, mostly with the Vancouver Canucks and Carolina Hurricanes. He is will report to the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) after clearing waivers.

Korpisalo will start in Ottawa on Thursday.

Riding an impressive season-best seven-game winning streak, the Bruins will turn to Korpisalo on Thursday against his former team, the Ottawa Senators. Korpisalo was solid between the pipes against the Senators last week, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime victory. The 31-year-old goalie has a 3.24 GAA and .885 SV% in seven games this season (4-3-0). Still, Boston enters the action on Thursday as +143 road underdogs against an Ottawa team that has lost three of their last five (2-1-2).

Shesterkin will start in Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

The Rangers have had a wildly inconsistent 2025-26 season, struggling to score, but have won two of their last three (2-1-0), and will turn to Shesterkin on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 29-year-old Shesterkin played well in his most recent outing, saving 27 of 30 shots (.900 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Nashville Predators. He has a 2.46 GAA and .909 SV% in 13 games this season (5-6-1). The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +123 road underdogs against a Lightning team that has won seven of their last eight (7-1-0).

Durzi (upper-body) is still not practicing and will not return this week.

Durzi has not played since the second game of the season, recovering from an upper-body injury, and appears to still be a ways away from returning to the lineup. The 27-year-old Durzi was solid in limited action with Utah last season, scoring 11 points (4G / 7A) in 30 games.

Shesterkin will start vs. Nashville on Monday.

The Rangers are an abysmal 0-6-1 on home ice this season, shut out five times, and desperately hope for their first win at Madison Square Garden on Monday, turning to Igor Shesterkin when they host the Nashville Predators. Despite an underwhelming 4-6-2 record, Shesterkin has been serviceable in the Rangers' crease this season, posting a 2.41 GAA and .909 SV% in 12 games. The Rangers enter Monday's contest as -180 home favorites against a Predators team that is 1-3-2 on the road this season.

Parssinen is expected to be a healthy scratch vs. Nashville on Monday.

After being shut out for the fifth time in only 16 games this season, the Rangers are shaking up their lineup and sending Parssinen 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 104 games.

Perreault is expected to make his season debut vs. Nashville on Monday.

The Rangers' offensive struggles have been well documented this season, especially on home ice, and as such, they have recalled Perreault, their top prospect, from the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL). The 20-year-old Perreault, the 23rd overall pick by the Rangers in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, has 10 points (5G / 5A) in nine games with Hartford this season. He is expected to suit up on a line with Mika Zibanejad and J.T. Miller.
