New York Rangers News

Shesterkin has been terrific over the last several weeks and will likely start for the second consecutive game on Tuesday. Shesterkin has won five straight games, allowing two or fewer in four, posting a remarkable .946 SV%, a sign that he is back to his Vezina-caliber form after an inconsistent first portion of the season, posting a .902 SV% in his first 17 games (10-7-0). The Rangers are slight -113 home favourites against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has won three straight, outscoring their opposition 13-7.

Quick will start for only the second time in the last six games for the Rangers when they visit the Florida Panthers on Friday. Quick has been solid and reliable all season but is coming off a tough performance in which he allowed four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on December 22nd. That said, the Rangers, winners of two straight, are +121 road underdogs against a Panthers team that has also won two in a row.

Gavrikov was considered week-to-week when he was placed on the injured reserve on December 15th but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks. The 28-year-old defenseman was having one of the strongest offensive seasons of his seven-year career, with three goals, six assists, 29 SOG, six PIMs and a +8 plus/minus in 25 games before his injury.

Shesterkin is riding a three-game winning streak and will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals. Shesterkin has not been true-to-form this season but is amid one of his better stretches of play, allowing only six goals on the last 85 shots he has faced (.929 SV%) over his last three games (3-0-0). The Rangers are sizeable -204 home favourites on Wednesday against the Capitals, despite being shut out 4-0 against them earlier this month.

Vaakanainen will re-enter Anaheim's lineup against the Kraken on Saturday in place of the injured Radko Gudas (lower-body). Vaakanainen has no goals and six assists in 24 games this season.

Quick has turned back time this season, grossly outplayed Igor Shesterkin, and will likely start for the Rangers on the front end of a back-to-back on Friday. The 37-year-old Quick has been nearly unbeatable this season, winning his last seven starts while posting a serviceable .916 SV%. Quick's 2.09 GAA and .926 SV% surpass anything he has ended the season with throughout his illustrious career. The Rangers will look for their fourth straight win as -116 home favourites against an Oilers team that snapped a three-game skid last night, courtesy of a 6-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils.

Shesterkin has struggled this season but is coming off one of his stronger performances, saving 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday. His 2.91 GAA and .904 SV% through 18 games (11-7-0) are well below what is expected of the 2021-22 Vezina winner. Shesterkin and the Rangers are slight -102 road underdogs on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, who defeated them 7-3 one week ago. The Maple Leafs have scored 19 goals over their last three games (2-0-1) and are the hottest team in the NHL over the last five weeks (10-1-4).
