New York Rangers News

The Bruins were embarrassed in a 7-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators last night and will try to rebound on Tuesday, turning to Korpisalo in net against the New York Islanders. The 31-year-old Korpisalo salvaged a victory in his first game of the season but has otherwise performed poorly, posting an ugly 4.03 GAA and .845 SV% in four games (1-3-0). The 4-7-0 Bruins will be desperate to return to the win column on Tuesday, entering the game as +128 home underdogs against a red-hot Islanders team with points in five straight (4-0-1).

With Jeremy Swayman occupying Boston's crease for the start of their back-to-back Monday, Joonas Korpisalo is expected to take over the crease vs. the Islanders on Tuesday. Boston's back up netminder will look to snap a personal three-game losing streak which has saw his SV% plummet to .845 SV% this season alongside his 4.03 GAA. He is expected to host Ilya Sorokin and Islanders on Tuesday, who had their four-game win streak snapped on Saturday with a loss to Philadelphia.

Rempe received a five-minute major for fighting with San Jose's Ryan Reaves on Thursday and did not return to the game, finishing with only 19 seconds of ice time. The 23-year-old Rempe is averaging 9:48 time-on-ice and has one point (1G / 0A) in nine games this season. The Rangers have recalled Brennan Othmann from Hartford (AHL) as a potential replacement for Rempe.

The Rangers have been among the NHL's worst teams offensively early in the 2025-26 season, scoring only 16 goals through eight contests (2.0 GF / GP), but have salvaged a serviceable 3-4-1 record thanks in part to elite goaltending from Shesterkin. The 29-year-old Shesterkin is boasting an incredible 1.17 GAA and .957 SV% through six games this season (2-3-1). Despite being winless at home (0-4-0), the Rangers enter Thursday's contest as -282 home favorites against a San Jose Sharks team looking for their first victory of the season (0-4-2).

Aspinall was drafted 159th-overall by the Rangers in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and has earned himself a three-year, entry-level contract. The 19-year-old forward is currently playing in the OHL with the Flint Firebirds and has 10 points (6G / 4A) in six games.

The Bruins have been liberal with their crease this season, giving Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo significant exposure. Korpisalo will tend the twine on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks, looking to improve on an uninspiring 3.36 GAA and .865 SV% in three games (1-2-0). The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as slight -108 home favorites against a Ducks team that exploded offensively in their most recent game, a 5-2 win over the Nashville Predators, after scoring only two goals in their previous two games (0-1-1).

Del Gaizo played a career-high 46 games with the Nashville Predators last season, scoring nine points (2G / 7A), but started his 2025-26 campaign in the AHL with Laval. The 26-year-old defenseman was a fourth-round pick in 2019 and has played 55 career games at the NHL level.

The Rangers have had an up-and-down start to the 2025-26 season, shut out in three of seven games (3-3-1), but have received near-perfection from goaltender Igor Shesterkin. After an uncharacteristically poor 2024-25 season by his standards, the 29-year-old Shesterkin has rebounded early in 2025-26, showcasing an outstanding 1.00 GAA and .962 SV% in five games (2-2-1). As they enter Monday's contest, the Rangers are -136 home favorites against a Minnesota Wild team that has been outscored 12-4 during a three-game losing skid (0-2-1).

Veleno will draw into the Montreal lineup because Patrik Laine is out with a lower-body injury. Veleno most recently played for the Blackhawks, where he had seven points (3G / 4A) in 18 games. He'll centre a line with Zack Bolduc and Owen Beck in his debut.

Iorio will make his Sharks debut when they play the Mammoth on Friday. He has appeared in nine career NHL games, all with the Capitals, registering zero goals and one assist.

Parssinen picked up an assist in his only other appearance of the season while seeing less than 10 minutes of ice time. Jonny Brodzinski will sit in his place.

The Rangers will turn to the red-hot Shesterkin for the fifth time already this season when they travel to Toronto to take on the Maple Leafs on Thursday. Shesterkin was unfortunate to be tagged with the loss despite another stellar outing in his last start, allowing just a single goal on 21 shots in a 2-0 loss to the Oilers. The former Vezina Trophy winner owns a ridiculous .972 SV% and 0.76 GAA through his first four starts of the season. The Rangers enter action on Thursday at +120 on the money line.

Iorio was Washington's 55th-overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft but had trouble solidifying an NHL role with the team, limited to nine total games. The 22-year-old had 20 points (5G / 15A) in 67 games with the Hershey Bears (AHL) last season and will try to establish himself with a young Sharks team. He is expected to meet the Sharks in Utah for their game on Friday.
