Martin, 21, has gone 15-9-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .915 SV% in 27 games with the Rampage this season. He has spent a lot of time with the Avalanche, but has never appeared in an NHL game. With Semyon Varlamov out through the All-Star break, Martin is expected to see some playing time this time around.
Zibanejad missed the last 26 games with a broken fibula, but will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Zibanejad centred the second line with Pavel Buchnevich and Rick Nash on his wings and enters Tuesday with five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 19 games.
Korpisalo has been recalled to serve as Anton Forsberg’s backup tonight in Carolina. Sergei Bobrovsky is sick, but should be ready to go for Friday, so expect Korpisalo to go back down after tonight’s game.
Bjorkstrand has been a healthy scratch for the last five games, so he will swap places with Dalton Prout, who had reached the end of his conditioning stint. Bjorkstrand has picked up 10 goals and four assists (14 points) in 20 AHL games this season.
Martin served as Calvin Pickard’s backup for three games while Semyon Varlamov was sidelined with a groin injury. With Varlamov back on Tuesday, Martin returns to San Antonio, where he has gone 11-7-0 with a 2.31 GAA and .924 SV%.
Blidh picked up one goal in two games with Providence after being sent down last week, to give him 10 points (6G / 4A) in 21 AHL games this season. He comes up having collected one assist in four games with Boston.
Semyon Varlamov will not suit up for Wednesday's game because of a groin injury, so Martin has been recalled and will serve as Calvin Pickard's backup. The 21-year-old netminder has gone 11-7-0 with a 2.31 GAA ad .924 SV% in 18 games with San Antonio.
Blidh picked up one assist in four games with the Bruins during his call-up, but he will return to Providence with Noel Acciari ready to return to the lineup on Saturday.
Bjorkstrand has been recalled on an emergency basis, so someone is likely out tonight. Bjorkstrand made the team out of the training camp, but failed to record a point in three games. The 21-year-old has 12 points (8G / 4A) in 19 games since being sent down.
Blidh, 21, was a sixth round pick (180th overall) in 2013 and was recalled after posting nine points (5G / 4A) in 19 games with Providence. Blidh will travel to Buffalo and could make his NHL debut on Saturday.
Miller had to get stitches on his knee after being hit by a Mats Zuccerello shot on Sunday. Rangers’ head coach Alain Vigneault said it is a 50/50 chance that Miller will be in the lineup on Tuesday. If he can’t play, Oscar Lindberg will get back into the lineup.
Zibanejad broke his fibula after sliding awkwardly into the boards during the Rangers’ shootout loss to the Panthers on Sunday. Zibanejad has enjoyed a great start to his Rangers career, having collected 15 points (5G / 10A) in 19 games, but that will be put on hold for at least six weeks. Expect Kevin Hayes to take on a bigger role in the Rangers’ offence with Zibanejad out.
Korpisalo returned to practice on Monday and was sent to Cleveland where he will get some game action. The 22-year-old netminder was 8-8-2 with a 2.36 GAA and .913 SV% in 18 AHL games a season ago.
Korpisalo suffered a groin injury in the preseason and finally returned to practice on Monday. Korpisalo had a strong .920 SV% with the Blue Jackets last year, but there’s a good chance he goes to Cleveland (AHL) for a conditioning stint.
Miller missed Tuesday’s practice but was on the ice for the morning skate and will be in the lineup on Wednesday. Miller had one goal and seven shots after being moved into the top-6 because of Chris Kreider’s injury. He makes for a solid daily choice tonight vs. the Bruins.
Miller, 23, was the 15th overall pick in 2011 and his breakout season was long awaited. Miller finally broke through in 2015-16 after posting just 33 points (15G / 18A) in 114 games over his first three seasons. Miller scored 22 goals with 21 assists (43 points) last season and figures to take steps forward as a member of the Rangers’ top-6 in 2016-17.
