New York Rangers News

Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) is reportedly nearing a return to the crease, but Martin will continue as the Hurricanes starting netminder in the interim. The 29-year-old Martin has showcased up-and-down results in limited action this season, posting a 3.40 GAA and .854 SV%, including one shutout, in six appearances (2-2-1). The Hurricanes enter the action on Wednesday as -179 home favorites against a New York Rangers club coming off a disappointing 5-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues.

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.

Pyotr Kochetkov left the Hurricanes' previous game after a collision in overtime, temporarily leaving the crease to Martin. The 29-year-old Martin has been limited to only five appearances this season (1-2-1), posting a 3.21 GAA and .870 SV%, but could forced into more action if Kochetkov is out of the lineup for an extended time. The Hurricanes enter Monday's contest as -126 home favorites against the Dallas Stars, fresh off a 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

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.

With Chris Kreider (upper body) sidelined Berard will make his NHL debut on Monday against the St. Louis Blues. The 22-year-old Berard has 13 points (7G / 6A) in 16 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack this season. He is expected to skate on a line with Mika Zibanejad and Will Cuylle.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Hurricanes will turn to Martin between the pipes for the second time in four games. The 29-year-old Martin began the season in the AHL and has predominantly served as the backup to Pyotr Kochetkov. That said, he was tremendous in his previous outing, saving all 24 shots he faced in a 4-0 shutout victory over the Ottawa Senators. The Hurricanes have outscored their opposition 12-2 in their previous three games (3-0-0) and enter Thursday's contest as slight -103 road underdogs against the New Jersey Devils.

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.
