With Jordan Eberle (upper body) expected to return from an injury, Kartye will be the odd-man out of the lineup as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Kartye is averaging 10:45 time-on-ice and has seven points (2G / 5A) in 37 games this season.

Korpisalo was solid in his most recent outing, saving 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames, and will return to the crease on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 31-year-old Korpisalo has a 3.42 GAA and .888 SV% in 16 games this season (7-8-0). The Bruins enter the action as +105 road underdogs.
Dowling appeared in two games during his call-up but was a healthy scratch vs. the Sabres on Thursday. His demotion suggests that Noah Laba will be back in the Rangers' lineup on Saturday.
Laba has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on New Year's Eve, but he returned to practice on Friday. The 22-year-old forward, in his first NHL season, has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 42 games.
Miller has been sidelined for nearly three weeks because of an upper-body injury, but should return to the lineup on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres.

Korpisalo has not played in nearly two weeks, but was solid in his previous outing, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The 31-year-old Finnish goalie has a 3.60 GAA and .882 SV% in 15 games this season (6-8-0). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as -136 home favorites against a Calgary Flames team that played last night, losing 4-1 to the Montreal Canadiens, extending its losing streak to three games (0-3-0).
The Rangers are battling a myriad of key injuries and had a scare on Wednesday when Lafreneiere was absent from practice because of an illness, but he should play on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 24-year-old Lafreniere has been held off the scoresheet in 28 of 44 games this season and continues to be unable to live up to the expectations he garnered when he was drafted first overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He has 24 points (9G / 15A) in 44 games this season.
With Adam Fox (undisclosed) on LTIR, the Rangers recalled Morrow from Hartford (AHL) earlier this week. The 23-year-old Morrow averaged 15:34 time-on-ice and had three assists in 16 games with the Rangers earlier this season.

The Rangers are battling a myriad of key injuries and can ill afford to be without Lafrenier, who is under the weather and unable to practice on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Lafreniere has been held off the scoresheet in 28 of 44 games this season and continues to be unable to live up to the expectations he garnered when he was drafted first overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

With Igor Shesterkin (lower body) on Injured Reserve, the Rangers have recalled Spencer Martin from Hartford (AHL) to serve as Jonathan Quick's backup. The 30-year-old Martin had a 3.56 GAA and .883 SV% in 66 career NHL games (24-30-8).
Shesterkin was forced to leave Monday's game after being involved in a collision with Utah's JJ Peterka in the first period. Shesterkin struggled to put weight on his left leg while being helped off the ice and was quickly ruled out for the game. He will miss, at minimum, one week before he is eligible to be activated off of Injured Reserve.
Fox was just activated from LTIR and played only three games, and has been placed on LTIR again, meaning he will be sidelined for at least another month. It's unclear if his current injury is related to his previous injury, but nevertheless, it's a crushing blow for a Rangers team that is currently on the outside of the playoff picture. The 30-year-old Fox has 28 points (4G / 24A) in 30 games this season.
