New York Rangers News

The Bruins, fresh off a disappointing 4-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, will switch to Korpisalo between the pipes on Thursday. Korpisalo was excellent in his last outing, his first shutout of the season, saving all 20 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. That said, Korpisalo has been inconsistent this season, posting a 2.70 GAA and .894 SV% in five outings (2-2-0). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as -156 home favorites against the Calgary Flames.

The Rangers will roll with Shesterkin in the crease for a fourth straight game on Thursday when they host the Buffalo Sabres. Shesterkin is amid another Vezina-caliber season. The 28-year-old Shesterkin has allowed two or fewer goals in six of nine games (6-2-1), translating to an impressive 2.22 GAA and .933 SV%. The Rangers enter the action on Thursday as -195 home favorites against a Sabres club that has lost three of their last four.

The Capitals recalled Iorio after placing Jakob Chychrun on Injured Reserve but did not draw into the lineup. Iorio, who appeared in six NHL games last season, has scored one goal with two assists (three points) in nine AHL games this season.

Kartye will take a seat for the first time this season when the Kraken travel to Denver on Tuesday. He has just one goal and no assists in 13 games this season.

John Hayden will draw into Seattle's lineup on Tuesday, replacing Bjorkstrand, who will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season. Bjorkstrand was a Western Conference All-Star last season, scoring 59 points (20G / 39A) in 82 games. This season, Bjorkstrand has only five points (3G / 2A) in 13 games and has been held off the scoresheet in seven of the last eight.

Jackson Lacombe will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Vaakanainen to re-enter the lineup for the first time since October 13th. The 25-year-old Vaakanainen played 68 games with the Ducks last season but has been limited to only one through 11 games for the Ducks in 2024-25.

In a corresponding move, the Capitals placed Jakob Chychrun on injured reserve. Iorio, who appeared in six NHL games last season, has scored one goal with two assists (three points) in nine AHL games this season.

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).

Alexander Romanov (upper-body) will make his return from a three-game absence on Friday, sending Cholowski to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Cholowski was thrust into the lineup due to Romanov's injury and recording one point (1G / 0A) in three games.

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.

Parssinen will fill in for Mark Jankowski, who is out with an upper-body injury. Parssinen has played in just one game this season, registering an assist and a -3 rating.

Del Gaizo will make just his fourth appearance of the season when the Oilers come to town on Thursday. Dante Fabbro will sit in his place.

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 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.

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).
