Durzi exited Monday's game against the Washington Capitals with a lower-body injury in the first period. Despite playing only 4:02 time-on-ice, Durzi recorded a point (0G / 1A), snapping a seven-game pointless skid. Durzi and Travis Dermott (hand) will both be game-time decisions for the Coyotes on Thursday.

Martin will start the front end of a back-to-back for the Blue Jackets on Thursday when they visit the New York Islanders. Martin has been decent when called upon this season, posting a 3.20 GAA and .902 SV% through 10 games (2-6-1). That said, he has a .876 SV% and only one win in his past five games (1-4-0), an inevitability when netminding for the ninth-worst offence in the league (2.85 GF / GP). The Blue Jackets are +160 road underdogs against the Islanders, who defeated them 3-0 in their only other matchup this season.

Durzi left the Coyotes' previous game vs. Washington after just 4:02 TOI with a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day and doubtful to play Thursday. The 25-year-old has been enjoying a strong first season in Arizona after being dealt in the offseason, with his five goals, eight assists, 42 SOG, 29 PIMs and +10 plus/minus in 24 games prior to his injury.

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.

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.

Elvis Merzlikins will get the night off on Sunday as the Blue Jackets' will turn to Spencer Martin in goal. Martin is coming off one of his best starts of the season when he stopped 31 of the 33 shots he faced in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Bruins, and he'll get the chance to face them again on Sunday. The Blue Jackets are +200 underdogs in Boston despite defeating the Bruins less than a week ago.

Korpisalo and the Senators will look to rebound after a terrible performance on Monday when he allowed five goals on 38 shots (.868 SV%) in a 5-0 loss to the Florida Panthers. Korpisalo has more consistently been the better option between the pipes for the Senators this season, but the team has struggled as a whole lately, losing two straight, being outscored 10-3, paralleled by Korpisalo's mediocre 3.34 GAA and .902 SV% through 12 games (5-5-0). That said, the Senators are -157 road favourites against Korpisalo's former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have lost two of their last three outings (1-2-0).
