Shesterkin was surprisingly "unfit to play" in Games 1 and 2 but will make his playoffs debut in an elimination game on Tuesday. Shesterkin was lights out after being recalled from the AHL in January. The rookie went 10-2-0 with a 2.52 GAA and .932 SV% in 12 starts and will need to bring that game tonight if the Rangers are going to keep their season alive.
After spending the first seven years of his career in the Maple Leafs organization, Carrick has been with the Ducks since 2016-17. In that time, he has appeared in just 15 NHL games, amassing one goal and two assists. However, he has been prolific at the AHL-level, leading the team in points (61) last year and was leading San Diego in goals (23) and points (43) in 46 games before this year was paused.
Harper started the 2019-20 season with the Maple Leafs organization before being traded to Nashville on February 22nd. He spent the entire season in the AHL, combining for 12 points (1G / 10A) in 41 games with the Marlies and Admirals.
Khodorenko was an undrafted free agent and finished his senior season at Michigan State University, where he led the team in goals (16) and points (33) in 36 games. Khodorenko's contract begins in 2020-21, and he will join the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) immediately on an Amateur Try-Out.
The Rangers selected Robertson in the second-round (No. 49 overall) in 2019 and he finished the 2019-20 campaign as the highest-scoring defenseman on the Edmonton Oil Kings. Robertson had 13 goals and 34 assists (47 points) in 60 WHL games.
Mackey was an undrafted free agent who just finished his junior year at Minnesota State University, where he led all of their blueliners with 24 points (7G / 14A) in 36 games. He was named WCHA First team All-Star and finished with a league-high plus-19 rating while helping the Mavericks to a league-best 31-5-2 record.
Belzile is in his second season with Laval and earned an NHL-level contract after registering 14 points (7G / 7A) in 20 AHL games. The 28-year-old centre has recorded 132 points (54G / 78A) in 239 AHL games and 169 points (62G / 107A) in 168 ECHL games since turning pro in 2012-13.
Miller was the No.22 overall pic in 2018 and wrapped up his second season at the University of Wisconsin with 18 points (7G / 11A) in 36 games. He started the college season on team suspension, which the Wisconsin State Journal reported was because of academic woes, and he had a disappointing showing in the World Junior Championships, where he had two assists in five games. He'll likely report to Hartford (AHL) if the NHL season resumes or for the start of the 2021 season.
Quick stopped all 36 shots that he faced in the Kings shutout win over the Maple Leafs on Thursday. Quick has been excellent recently, allowing just two goals on the last 100 shots (.980 SV%) that he's faced. He'll look to continue his hot streak and strong play vs. the Avalanche tonight--he has gone 1-0-1 while stopping 62 of 64 (.969 SV%) shots that he's faced in the first two meetings of the year.

Shesterkin was yanked after allowing five goals on 23 shots in the Rangers loss to the Devils on Saturday. It was a disastrous return to the crease for Shesterkin, who had his seven-game winning streak snapped in the process. Tonight he faces a Stars team that is on a five-game losing streak (0-3-2) while scoring just 1.40 goals per game.
Shesterkin has missed the last six games with a rib injury he suffered in a car accident in late-February. Prior to getting hurt, Shesterkin won seven in a row while posting a 2.03 GAA and .945 SV%. The red-hot netminder will face the Devils for the second time this year--he was busy in the first meeting, stopping 46 of 49 shots in a 6-3 win.
Kreider suffered a fractured foot in Philadelphia on Friday and will come out of the lineup for at least Sunday’s game. Head coach David Quinn did not have a timetable on Kreider’s absence prior to Sunday’s game but you have to anticipate they will be without him for at least a couple of weeks. Phil Di Giuseppe will move up to the top line to start Sunday’s game.
Quick stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Kings loss to the Avalanche last Saturday. Cal Petersen started the last two games but Quick will face the Devils this afternoon. In the last two months, Quick has gone 2-7-2 with a 2.74 GAA and .910 SV%. Today he faces a New Jersey team that has gone 4-2-1 with 3.00 goals per game in their last seven.
Nash missed Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury but will play tonight vs. the Wild. Nash has just one assist in his last 17 games, so he has no fantasy value whatsoever.
