Shesterkin has had an inconsistent season but has played better lately, allowing two or fewer goals in three of his last four contests (3-1-0), posting a serviceable .909 SV%. The Rangers are significant -341 road favourites against the Sharks, who rank dead-last in the league offensively (2.06 GF / GP).
Despite only winning one of his last two games (1-0-1), Korpisalo has limited the opposition to only two goals in both games, saving a combined 48 of 52 shots (.923 SV%). The Senators have had a forgettable season, but have collected at least a point in three straight games (2-0-1), their best stretch of play since mid-November. The Senators are -142 road favourites against a Montreal Canadiens club that they handily defeated 6-2 last week.

Robertson will need to wait a little longer to make his NHL debut as he returns to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL, where he has 13 points (2G / 11A) in 32 games. The 22-year-old was the 49th overall pick of the Rangers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.

Anaheim has lost nine of their last 11 games while being outscored 3.8-to-2.1 on average.

Martin will add some depth to an uncertain Hurricanes crease after being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jackets. Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) and Frederik Andersen (blood clot) are both currently sidelined for the Hurricanes, though Kochetkov's return to the lineup seems imminent.

That said, the Senators are sizeable -180 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that played last night, defeating the New Jersey Devils 3-2.

Shesterkin will be back between the pipes for the Rangers for the back-end of this weekend's home-and-home with the Capitals after Jonathan Quick got the nod in Saturday's 3-2 defeat. Shesterkin struggled his last time out, allowing four goals on just 19 shots as the Rangers fell to the Blues by a score of 5-2.

He'll look to get back in the win column on Sunday with the Rangers being -250 favourites at home over the Capitals, who will be without Alex Ovechkin for the second straight game.
