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).

Fox has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 10 games and has not played since November 2nd. During his absence, Fox has been replaced on the Rangers' top powerplay by Erik Gustafsson, who has performed admirably, scoring 10 points (1G / 9A). That said, Gustafsson was averaging 2:46 less time-on-ice before Fox was injured, scoring only four points (2G / 2A) in 10 games, which is closer to what can be expected from him after Fox returns.

Shesterkin will return to the crease on Wednesday after allowing four goals on 38 shots (.895 SV%) in his last contest, a 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. During his Vezina-winning 2021-22 season, Shesterkin allowed four or more goals only seven times the entire season (53 games), a considerably stronger ratio than the four times he has allowed four or more in 12 games this season. That said, Shesterkin looks poised to rebound on Wednesday as the Rangers are -191 home favourites against a Detroit Red Wings team that will be without leading scorer Dylan Larkin.

Korpisalo was a game-time decision after returning to practice on Sunday. He did not dress for Saturday's game against the Wild due to an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old netminder was in particularly strong form prior to the injury, registering a 4-2-0 record and a .921 SV% over his last eight appearances. He returns to face a challenging matchup against the Panthers on Monday with the Sens being slight underdogs at +105.

Shesterkin initially struggled after returning from a lower-body injury, allowing seven goals in two games (1-1-0), posting an uncharacteristic .896 SV%, but will look to build on his more recent contest, a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers when he saved 36 of 37 shots (.973 SV%). The Rangers, who have points in 14 of their last 15 games (13-1-1), are heavy -212 home favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team dressing four forwards with 100 games or fewer of NHL experience.

Martin last played on November 19th, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and will return to the crease on the back end of a back-to-back Monday against the Boston Bruins. Martin has contributed to the Blue Jackets' bottom-third defence (3.45 GA / GP) with a 3.37 GAA and .898 SV% through eight appearances (1-5-1). The Blue Jackets are sizeable +215 home underdogs against a Bruins team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1), their worst stretch of the season.

Korpisalo participated in the Sentaors' morning skate on Monday and could be an option in the crease against the Florida Panthers. Korpisalo has not dressed since November 18th, but the team will hope he can regain his pre-injury form when he posted a 4-2-0 record and a .921 SV% in his last eight appearances.

The earliest Fox can return from LTIR is Wednesday, and his presence at practice on Monday is a promising sign for the Rangers. Fox has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 10 games and has not played since November 2nd. During his absence, Fox has been replaced on the Rangers' top powerplay by Erik Gustafsson, who has performed admirably, scoring 10 points (1G / 9A). That said, Gustafsson was averaging 2:46 less time-on-ice before Fox was injured, scoring only four points (2G / 2A) in 10 games, which is closer to what can be expected from him after Fox returns.

Shesterkin will return to the Rangers crease on Friday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 2021-22 Vezina winner has been overshined by backup, and 2011-12 Vezina runner-up, Jonathan Quick, who was sensational in the Rangers' last outing, saving 32 shots for a 1-0 shutout victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Since returning from injury, Shesterkin has allowed seven goals in two games (1-1-0), posting an uncharacteristic .896 SV%. That said, the Rangers have points in 11 of their last 12 games (10-1-1) and are -137 road favourites Friday afternoon.

Korpisalo appears to still be nursing an undisclosed injury that kept him from dressing in the second game of the NHL Global Series in Sweden on November 18th. The Senators have recalled Mads Sogaard to serve as the backup to Anton Forsberg in the interim. The Senators will hope Korpisalo can return soon as he was finally starting to find his footing this season, posting a 4-2-0 record and a .921 SV% in his last eight appearances.

Shesterkin played his first game in over two weeks on Saturday after recovering from a lower-body injury, making 30 saves (.909 SV%) in a 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils, and will start again on Monday against the Dallas Stars. The Rangers are a significantly stronger team with Shesterkin between the pipes but managed to hold down the fort while he was out of the lineup as the team has collected at least a point in 11 straight games (10-0-1). In two games against the Dallas Stars last season (2-0-0), Shesterkin was phenomenal, boasting a 2.03 GAA and .931 SV%.

Shesterkin has missed the Rangers' last four games due to a lower-body injury but will be back between the pipes Saturday in New Jersey. The 27-year-old has been solid as expected prior to his injury, with his 6-2-0 record, 2.36 GAA and .913 SV%. He heads to New Jersey to take on the Devils, who snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory last game and are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.73).



Del Gaizo had three assists, three SOG, two PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through five games this season to start his NHL career but has been reassigned to Milwaukee (AHL) Thursday. The 24-year-old returns to the Admirals, where he had an assist and two PIMs in five games prior to his promotion.
