Shesterkin will not dress Saturday vs. Minnesota due to a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day for the time being. The 27-year-old Vezina Trophy winner has had a good start to the season prior to his injury, with his 6-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.36 GAA. Jonathan Quick will man the starter's crease in Shesterkins absence while Louis Domingue has been called up for back up duties.
Quick will take over the Rangers' crease now that Igor Shesterkin is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will start Saturday vs. the Wild. The 37-year-old veteran is in his 17th NHL season and has been sensational in 2023-24, with his perfect 2-0-0 record, .982 SV% and .041 GAA. He will look to keep the good times rolling as the Rangers head to Minnesota Saturday, who looks in shambles after losing four-straight games but are seventh in the NHL in goals per game (3.5).
Mackey had a goal, an assist, 17 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus in seven games with Hartford (AHL) and has been recalled to the New York Rangers for the first time this season. The 27-year-old returns to the NHL for his fourth career season and has four goals and 11 points in 39 career games played. Mackey will be expected to make his season debut Saturday after it was announced Adam Fox (lower body) had been placed on the LTIR.
After a collision with Sebastian Aho of the Carolina Hurricanes, Fox left Thursday's game after playing only 6:01. He is expected to be reevaluated on Friday and would be a crushing loss for the Rangers if he is to miss any time. Fox has 11 points (3G / 8A) while averaging 21:04 time-on-ice through 10 games this season.
Brodzinski was off to an electric start with the Hartford Wolf Pack at the AHL level, recording 11 points (6G / 5A) in seven games, and has now been recalled by the Rangers. Brodzinski has played 39 games across the previous two seasons with the Rangers, tallying four points (2G / 2A).
Shesterkin will be the starter on Thursday as he looks for his fourth consecutive victory. Shesterkin has been lights-out during his current three-game winning streak, allowing only six goals total and posting a .932 SV%. The Rangers in general are off to a fabulous start to the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 7-2-0 record, but will be challenged tonight as they welcome the Carolina Hurricanes, who have outscored their opposition 9-4 over their last three games (3-0-0).

Shesterkin will be the starter for the Rangers on Monday as they face off in Winnipeg against the Jets (-120 road favourites). The 2021-22 Vezina trophy winner has been very pedestrian between the pipes to start the 2023-24 campaign, recording a 2.70 GAA and .900 SV% through six games (4-2-0). As long as he continues to garner wins, the Rangers won't be too particular about the finer details of his game but expect Shesterkin to elevate his game nearer to his career average of 2.39 GAA and .923 SV%.

Shesterkin allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Rangers' win in Calgary on Tuesday. Shesterkin was given Thursday night off, so he'll face the Canucks tonight in Vancouver. The Canucks come into the night with the fourth-most goals/60 (4.00) in the NHL.

Quick gets a somewhat surprising nod on Thursday given starter Igor Shesterkin is coming off one of his best starts of the season on Tuesday against the Flames. Quick has just one start and two appearances to his name on the year but has performed well when called upon. His last start came on Saturday against the Kraken where he stopped 18 of the 19 shots he faced enroute to a 4-1 victory.
Shesterkin will return to the starter's crease on Tuesday after making way for Rangers' backup goalie Jonathan Quick to make his first start of the season on Saturday, a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken. In four games this season, Shesterkin has struggled to find his Vezina-caliber form, posting a 3.14 GAA and .879 SV%. Shesterkin, who has never posted a sub- .916 SV% in any of his previous four NHL seasons, will look to get back on track Tuesday against a Calgary Flames team that has lost four of their last five (1-2-1).

Quick has only appeared in one game for the Rangers this season and stopped all nine of nine shots against in a relief appearance vs. Nashville. The 37-year-old is in his 17th NHL season and has a 375-277-84 career record with a .911 SV% and a 2.47 GAA. He will face the Seattle Kraken Saturday, who snapped a four-game losing skid with a victory last game but are struggling to score ranking 28th in the NHL in goals for per game (2.0).
Shesterkin is coming off a season-high 26-save, 2-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes and will look to record consecutive victories for the first time this season. Shesterkin has started all three contests for the Rangers thus far and should continue to see the lion's share of action going forward. Shesterkin looks poised for a strong performance tonight as the Rangers are -182 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has struggled out of the gate, being outscored 14-9 in their first four games of the season (1-3-0).

In three games with the Rangers this season, Bonino is averaging 11:07 time-on-ice, the lowest total for the 15-year veteran since the 2010-11 season. He has zero points and eight blocks playing primarily as the fourth-line center. Bonino's status remains uncertain for the Rangers' Thursday night matchup against the Nashville Predators.
