Pouliot played the last three games for the Stars but will return to Texas (AHL), indicating that Jani Hakanpaa or Nils Lundkvist are ready to return from injuries. The 30-year-old Pouliot is no stranger to the NHL with 224 games under his belt but has spent the majority of the 2023-24 campaign with Texas (AHL), tallying 31 points (8G / 23A) in 44 games.

Othmann was the 16th overall pick of the Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. Despite being limited to only three games with the Rangers, he has excelled in his first professional season, scoring 36 points (14G / 22A) in 44 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL.

Panarin played 19:55 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Dallas Stars but was unavailable for practice on Wednesday. The 32-year-old Panarin has seven points (1G / 6A) in his last three games. He already has tied a career-high in goals this season (32) and is pacing for his first 100-point season.

Shesterkin will look to extend New York's eight-game winning streak as he takes the crease for a third-straight start on Thursday in New Jersey. The 28-year-old all-star has surprisingly been the lesser of the Rangers' two starters this season, with his 23-12-1 record, 2.79 GAA and .904 SV%. He'll head right down the road to take on the New Jersey Devils, who have lost two of their last three games and rank 10th in the NHL in both goals per game (3.36) and shots per game (31.9).

Soucy has not played since suffering a hand injury on January 20th and has been retroactively placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve. A steadying presence on the blue line, Soucy has been limited to only 21 games this season due to an earlier lower-body injury and is three weeks into his original five-to-six-week prognosis. The 29-year-old has six points (2G / 4A), 21 hits, and 39 blocks this season.

Gustav Lindstrom will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Vaakanainen to re-enter the lineup after not playing on Monday. The 25-year-old Vaakanainen has nine points (1G / 8A), 48 shots, and 56 hits in 46 games this season.

Brodzinski was having a terrific season with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL), scoring 25 points (11G / 14A) in 16 games, resulting in his recall earlier this season. He's managed to be an effective offensive contributor at the NHL level and has been rewarded with a two-year $1.575 million contract extension. The 30-year-old has 15 points (4G / 11A) in 37 games with the Rangers this season.

Shesterkin will return to the crease for the fourth time in the last five games on Tuesday night. The former Vezina winner salvaged an overtime victory on Sunday at the Stadium Series against the New York Islanders despite allowing five goals on 41 shots (.878 SV%). Shesterkin has been uncharacteristically inconsistent all season, but he and the Rangers remain -127 home favourites entering action against an injury-depleted Dallas Stars team that played yesterday and lost 4-3 in a shootout to the Boston Bruins.

With Nils Lundkvist experiencing concussion-like symptoms, Jani Hakanpaa suffering from an upper-body injury, and Miro Heiskanen away from the team for the birth of his child, the Dallas Stars have opted to recall defensemen Alex Petrovic and Derrick Pouliot from the Texas Stars. The 30-year-old Pouliot is no stranger to the NHL with 221 games under his belt but has spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign with Texas (AHL), tallying 31 points (8G / 23A) in 44 games.

Raddysh missed practice on Friday due to a right quad injury and will be a game-time decision on Saturday as Chicago hosts Ottawa. The 25-year-old winger is having an incredibly disappointing 2023-24 season, with five goals, 11 points, 83 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -11 plus/minus through 49 games played. If he is able to go, he will take his usual spot on Chicago's third line and 2nd powerplay unit.

Rempe has earned a call-up from Hartford (AHL) and could be in line for his NHL debut. The 21-year-old has 12 points (8G / 4A) and 96 penalty minutes in 43 games with Hartford this season.
