Fox fell awkwardly onto his left arm in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the New York Islanders, exiting the contest in the third period with 17:48 time-on-ice. He has been placed on Injured Reserve and will not be eligible to return until, at earliest, March 5th against the Washington Capitals. Before his injury, Fox was riding a seven-game point streak, accumulating eight points (2G / 6A). In a corresponding move, the Rangers recalled Matthew Robertson from the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL).

With Adam Fox (upper body) on Injured Reserve, the Rangers have recalled Robertson from the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL). Robertson was a second-round pick of the Rangers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old defenseman has yet to play an NHL game and has 18 points (1G / 17A) in 47 games with Hartford this season.

Shesterkin had a forgettable performance on Saturday, a common trend for him in the 2024-25 campaign, allowing five goals on 16 shots (.688 SV%) in an eventual 8-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, but followed that up with a strong outing on Sunday, saving 36 of 39 (.923 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 29-year-old Shesterkin will return to the crease on Tuesday against the New York Islanders, looking to improve his 2.98 GAA and .903 SV% through 41 games this season (19-20-2). He has an ugly 4.32 GAA and .842 SV% in his last seven games (2-5-0). The Rangers enter the action on Tuesday as -114 home favorites against the Islanders, losers of three straight.

The 29-year-old Shesterkin will likely return to the crease on Tuesday against the New York Islanders, looking to improve his 2.98 GAA and .903 SV% through 41 games this season (19-20-2).

Othmann was the 16th overall pick of the Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old forward made his NHL debut last season, playing three games, but has exclusively been in the AHL this season. He has 20 points (12G / 8A) in 27 games with Hartford (AHL).

Shesterkin was sidelined with an upper-body injury for New York's final game before the break for the 4-Nations Face Off but will likely return to the crease in one of their back-to-back contests this weekend. The Rangers are amid a competitive race for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and will need Shesterkin to return to his elite form. He struggled before his injury, posting an ugly .835 SV% in his last five contests (1-4-0).

When the Rangers returned from the 4Nations break, Shesterkin was still missing from practice and remains day-to-day. Shesterkin is reportedly skating on his own but has yet to return to team sessions. Unless he progresses quickly over the next couple of days, expect the Rangers to head into the weekend with Jonathan Quick and Dylan Garand as their goaltending tandem vs. Montreal on Saturday.
