Shesterkin will return to the crease for the Rangers on Friday evening in a matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. Shesterkin allowed three goals on 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a disappointing 3-2 overtime loss to the bottom-dwelling San Jose Sharks in his last outing. Shesterkin's reputation as an elite goaltender has not held up this season, especially lately, allowing four or more goals in four of his last nine games (4-4-1), posting an ugly .870 SV%. That said, the Rangers are -155 home favourites against a Golden Knights club with points in five straight (4-0-1).

Dowling will make his Devils' debut on Thursday, having not appeared in the NHL since playing 22 games with Vancouver in the 2021-22 season. Maxwell Willman will sit in his place.

He's played 77 career NHL games in four seasons.

Shesterkin will return to the crease on Tuesday in a favourable matchup against the San Jose Sharks.

The Rangers are significant -341 road favourites against the Sharks, who rank dead-last in the league offensively (2.06 GF / GP).
