Korpisalo allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Senators win in Toronto on Wednesday. The win snapped a two-game losing skid for Korpisalo, who has given up at least three goals in six of eight starts this season (.902 SV%). On Saturday, he'll face a Flames team that lost in a shootout in Toronto last night and have dropped seven of their last nine games.

Garand was originally called up as a precautionary measure with Jonathan Quick dealing with an injury in addition to the already-injured Igor Shesterkin. Garand's reassignment to Hartford is a good sign the Quick, Shesterkin, or both are ready to return to the lineup.

Martin has been solid when called upon this season and will attempt to snap the Blue Jackets' two-game losing streak when they face off against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. In five games (1-2-1), Martin boasts a 2.62 GAA and .928 SV%. The Blue Jackets played the Stars on October 30th, with Merzlikins between the pipes, losing 5-3. Martin and the Blue Jackets are listed as +199 home underdogs on Thursday.

Korpisalo will be hoping for a bounce-back performance on Wednesday after surrendering three goals on 20 shots before being pulled in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning. It was a disappointing start for Korpisalo after he appeared to have turned a corner prior to Saturday's defeat, registering a .921 SV% or better in his previous three starts. On the season, Korpisalo owns a .901 SV% and a 3.44 GAA to go along with his 2-4-0 record. Things won't get any easier for Korpisalo and the Senators tonight as they are +140 road underdogs against the Maple Leafs.

With the news that both Jonathan Quick and Igor Shesterkin are dealing with injuries Dylan Garand has been recalled from Hartford (AHL) for the first time in his career. The 21-year-old was the Rangers' 2020 fourth-round pick (103rd overall) and was 3-1-1 with a .914 SV% and 2.63 GAA in five games with Hartford prior to his promotion.

Shesterkin appears to be nearing a return but will sit out for a second consecutive game as he tends to an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old Vezina Trophy winner has had a good start to the season prior to his injury, with his 6-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.36 GAA. Jonathan Quick has manned the starter's crease in Shesterkin's absence.

Shesterkin did not dress for the Rangers' previous game vs. Minnesota and is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury after lightly practicing Monday. The injury designation comes with a sigh of relief as the 2022 Vezina Trophy winner is off to a fantastic start in 2023-24, with his 6-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.36 GAA.

Korpisalo will man the Senators' crease for a fourth-straight start after dropping their previous contest after allowing three goals on 38 shots (.921 SV%) but will likely start Saturday vs. Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old signed a five-year contract in the offseason and has struggled early with his 2-4-0 record, .906 SV% and 3.19 GAA. He takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday, who have lost their last two contests but are ninth in the NHL in goals per game (3.4).

Fox left the Rangers' game Thursday vs. Carolina after a hit from Sebastian Aho after 6:01 TOI and has been placed on the Long-Term Injured Reserve Friday. The 25-year-old was enjoying yet another excellent season after finishing at least top three in Norris voting in each of the last three seasons, as he had three goals, eight assists, 15 SOG, and six PIMs in 10 games before his injury. With Fox being placed on Long Term Injured Reserve, he will miss at least 10 games and 24 days for the Rangers.

Shesterkin will not dress Saturday vs. Minnesota due to a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day for the time being. The 27-year-old Vezina Trophy winner has had a good start to the season prior to his injury, with his 6-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.36 GAA. Jonathan Quick will man the starter's crease in Shesterkins absence while Louis Domingue has been called up for back up duties.

After a collision with Sebastian Aho of the Carolina Hurricanes, Fox left Thursday's game after playing only 6:01. He is expected to be reevaluated on Friday and would be a crushing loss for the Rangers if he is to miss any time. Fox has 11 points (3G / 8A) while averaging 21:04 time-on-ice through 10 games this season.

Korpisalo was on the ball in his previous start as he stopped 41 of 43 shots (.953 SV%) to snap a two-game losing streak as he beat Pittsburgh and will likely take the crease Thursday after occupying the starter's crease at morning skate. After signing a five-year, $20 million contract in the offseason he has struggled early and is 2-3-0 with a .903 SV% and 3.22 GAA. He takes on his old team in Los Angeles, whose offense is in tact as they are currently leading the NHL in goals per game (4.33)

Shesterkin will be the starter on Thursday as he looks for his fourth consecutive victory. Shesterkin has been lights-out during his current three-game winning streak, allowing only six goals total and posting a .932 SV%. The Rangers in general are off to a fabulous start to the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 7-2-0 record, but will be challenged tonight as they welcome the Carolina Hurricanes, who have outscored their opposition 9-4 over their last three games (3-0-0).

Shesterkin will be the starter for the Rangers on Monday as they face off in Winnipeg against the Jets (-120 road favourites). The 2021-22 Vezina trophy winner has been very pedestrian between the pipes to start the 2023-24 campaign, recording a 2.70 GAA and .900 SV% through six games (4-2-0). As long as he continues to garner wins, the Rangers won't be too particular about the finer details of his game but expect Shesterkin to elevate his game nearer to his career average of 2.39 GAA and .923 SV%.
