Shesterkin will start against the Senators on Friday.

Shesterkin will attempt to snap a two-game losing streak when he returns to the crease for the Rangers on Friday night against the Ottawa Senators. The 28-year-old Shesterkin was busy in his last outing, saving a season-high 41 shots, but allowed four goals (.911 SV%) in the 5-3 losing effort against the Washington Capitals. The Rangers enter the action on Friday as -187 home favorites against the high-scoring Ottawa Senators (4.2 GF / GP).

Rempe will return to being a healthy scratch on Friday as he will take a seat in favor of Jonny Brodzinski. The hard-hitting 22-year-old Rempe has been limited to only three games this season, averaging 5:26 time-on-ice, recording zero points, five penalty minutes, and six hits.

Dowling will make his season debut on Wednesday in Vancouver.

With news that Curtis Lazar (lower body) will miss some time, the Devils recalled Dowling from Utica (AHL) on Tuesday to make his season debut on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 34-year-old Dowling has primarily been an AHL player but is no stranger to the NHL, with 100 games of experience. He has four points (2G / 2A) in six games with Utica this season.

Del Gaizo has been recalled from Milwaukee (AHL).

Del Gaizo has played three games with the Predators this season, splitting time with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL). The 25-year-old has predominantly played in the AHL since being drafted in the fourth-round by the Predators in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, including a 34 point campaign (8G / 26A) in 60 games with Milwaukee last season.

Korpisalo will start on Tuesday vs. Philadelphia.

The Bruins have significantly altered their goaltending structure from the goalie rotation between Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark last season, with Korpisalo starting in net on Tuesday for only the third time in 10 games. The 30-year-old Korpisalo could likely earn more playing time with consistent netminding but has left little to be optimistic about through two outings (1-1-0), posting an ugly 4.57 GAA and .850 SV%. The Bruins enter action on Tuesday as -184 home favorites against a Flyers club that has lost seven of their last eight (1-6-1).

Rempe will draw back into the Rangers' lineup on Tuesday in Washington.

Rempe had predominantly been a healthy scratch for the Rangers this season before being sent down to the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) last week. In two outings with the Rangers, the hard-hitting Rempe has yet to record a penalty minute and has five hits in 11:17 total time-on-ice.

Martin's call-up from the Chicago Wolves (AHL) indicates that something could be amiss with Carolina's two-headed goalie monster, Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov, but nothing has been announced yet. Hurricanes' head coach, Rod Brind'Amour, will likely provide an update on Monday.

Lafreniere has signed a seven-year, $52.15 million contract extension ($7,450,000 AAV).

With a hot start to the 2024-25 season, scoring seven points (4G / 3A) in his first seven games, Lafreniere has been rewarded with a seven-year, $52.15 million contract extension. After struggling to live up to his status as a 1st overall draft pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Lafreniere has established himself as an offensive threat in the league since the latter part of last season. The 23-year-old Lafreniere has collected 37 points (21G / 16A) in his previous 41 games after only tallying 118 points (58G / 60A) in his first 263.
