Shesterkin will start vs. Philadelphia on Thursday.

After a forgetful 21-game stretch where the Rangers only won five games (5-16-0), they have rebounded admirably, collecting points in nine straight (6-0-3), partly due to terrific play from Shesterkin.

The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as -147 home favorites against a Flyers club with points in six straight (5-0-1).
