Edstrom had seven goals, two assists, 14 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 21 games with Hartford (AHL) and has earned his first NHL call up Friday. The 23-year-old Swedish forward was the Rangers 2019 sixth-round pick (161st overall) and came over after four seasons with Rogle BK of the SHL in 2022-23.
Miller had played all 26 games for the Rangers before Tuesday's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which he missed due to personal reasons. Miller has 12 points (5G / 7A), 34 blocks, and 24 hits this season, skating primarily alongside Jacob Trouba.
Shesterkin has a decent 2.83 GAA and .908 SV% through 16 games (10-6-0) but has quietly been outperformed by veteran backup Jonathan Quick. Shesterkin has allowed nine goals on his last 64 shots (.859 SV%) and he struggled to showcase the elite form he has possessed in previous seasons. That said, the Rangers have still been able to string together a terrific season and are -166 home favourites against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that lost 4-3 in overtime last night to the New York Islanders.
Kaliyev missed the Kings' practice Tuesday and will be a game-time decision Wednesday vs. Winnipeg as he deals with an illness. The 22-year-old right-winger has enjoyed a solid start to his 2023-24 season, with six goals, 12 points, 10 PIMs, 47 SOG and a +7 plus/minus in 23 games played.
Jones will re-enter the Rangers lineup as K'Andre Miller will not suit up due to personal reasons. The 23-year-old Jones has not played since November 27th and has three points (0G / 3A), averaging 13:16 through 11 games this season.
Robertson was the 49th overall pick of the New York Rangers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and is still waiting to make his NHL debut. In 22 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL, he has eight points (0G / 8A) in 22 games.

That said, the Rangers have still been able to string together a terrific season and are -166 home favourites against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that lost 4-3 in overtime last night to the New York Islanders.
Miller has played all 26 games for the Rangers this season but will sit out on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs for personal reasons. Miller has 12 points (5G / 7A), 34 blocks, and 24 hits this season. Zac Jones is likely to join the Rangers' blueline in Miller's absence.
Nash had nine goals, 10 assists, 26 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus in 20 games with Hartford (AHL) to start the season and has earned his first call up to the Rangers Thursday. The 34-year-old last appeared in the NHL with Arizona in 2021-22 but has 63 goals and 176 points in 627 games played across 11 NHL seasons.
Kreider is dealing with a lower-body concern that kept him from practising on Thursday. Kreider has not missed any time but only has two points (1G / 1A) in his last five games and eight shots on goal. He has also seen his hit production decrease significantly this season, averaging only 0.88 hits per game, the least since his rookie season when he averaged 1.57 hits per game.
Shesterkin will start on Tuesday after having the night off in the back end of a back-to-back on Sunday. The 27-year-old Russian netminder has elevated his game recently after a sluggish start, by his standards, to the season. Shesterkin has won three of his last four outings (3-1-0), allowing only 10 goals and posting a .929 SV%. The Rangers are -139 road favourites as they visit an Ottawa Senators team coming off a 2-0 shutout victory over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday.
