After producing 1.08 points-per-game over his last five seasons, Miller has just 38 points (14G / 24A) through 51 games in 2025-26 (0.75 PTS/GP) while sporting a career-worst -24 plus/minus.
After nearly two months without playing a game, due to a lower-body injury and the Olympic break, Shesterkin hasn't missed a beat, posting a solid 2.37 GAA and .912 SV% in two games (1-0-1).

Still, the Rangers enter Monday's contest as slight +107 home underdogs against a Columbus Blue Jackets team that has followed up a seven-game winning streak with two straight losses (0-1-1).

Shesterkin was sidelined for a month heading into the Olympic break due to a lower-body injury, but he will return to the crease when the Rangers return to action on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
