Del Gaizo has already played a career-high 16 games this season and will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 25-year-old Del Gaizo is averaging 15:20 time-on-ice and has three points (0G / 3A).
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 Patrick Kane (undisclosed) day-to-day, Veleno will re-enter the Red Wings lineup. The 24-year-old Veleno is averaging a career-low 11:37 time-on-ice and only has two points (1G / 1A) through 17 games this season.

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 will likely turn to Shesterkin between the pipes on Thursday against the Calgary Flames. Shesterkin has struggled lately, posting a .842 SV% in his last four games (2-2-0) after being excellent in his first nine (6-2-1) with a .933 SV%. 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.
In their first game in the post-Jim Montgomery era, Bruins' head coach Joe Sacco will turn to Korpisalo between the pipes. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has been serviceable, improving as the season goes on, posting a stellar .926 SV% in his last five outings (2-1-1). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as -150 home favorites against the Utah Hockey Club, outscored 10-4 during a two-game losing skid.
Tyler Motte will draw back into the Red Wings lineup on Thursday, resulting in Veleno being a healthy scratch. The Red Wings have had trouble generating offense this season, evident by Veleno's two points (1G / 1A) in 17 games.
Jonathan Quick has consecutive shutouts, and Shesterkin has allowed five goals in two of his last three games, but the Rangers will turn to Shesterkin between the pipes for the third time in the previous four games. The 28-year-old Shesterkin has seen his numbers fall over the past few weeks, posting a 2.78 GAA and .914 SV% in 12 games (7-4-1). The Rangers enter the action on Tuesday as -123 road favorites against a Vancouver Canucks club without J.T. Miller (personal).
Miller will be away from the team with no definitive timeline to return due to personal reasons. The 31-year-old Miller had been centering the top line and top powerplay unit in Vancouver and scored 16 points (6G / 10A) in 17 games, leading all forwards on the team.
The 34-year-old Dowling has primarily been an AHL player but is no stranger to the NHL, with 109 games of experience. He has one assist in nine games with New Jersey this season.
