Goalie Start
Fox has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 10 games and has not played since November 2nd. During his absence, Fox has been replaced on the Rangers' top powerplay by Erik Gustafsson, who has performed admirably, scoring 10 points (1G / 9A). That said, Gustafsson was averaging 2:46 less time-on-ice before Fox was injured, scoring only four points (2G / 2A) in 10 games, which is closer to what can be expected from him after Fox returns.
Goalie Start
Shesterkin will return to the crease on Wednesday after allowing four goals on 38 shots (.895 SV%) in his last contest, a 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. During his Vezina-winning 2021-22 season, Shesterkin allowed four or more goals only seven times the entire season (53 games), a considerably stronger ratio than the four times he has allowed four or more in 12 games this season. That said, Shesterkin looks poised to rebound on Wednesday as the Rangers are -191 home favourites against a Detroit Red Wings team that will be without leading scorer Dylan Larkin.

Edstrom did not see any NHL time during his very brief call up and will head back to Hartford (AHL) on Tuesday. The 23-year-old forward has yet to make his NHL debut but heads back to Hartford, where he had seven goals, two assists, 14 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus in 18 games prior to his promotion.
Chytil has been placed on long-term injured reserve, retroactive to November 3rd, in a series of moves by the Rangers designed to create cap space for Adam Fox to return to the lineup on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Chytil was previously centring the Rangers' second line and had six assists, 22 SOG, and four PIMs in 10 games prior to the injury.
Kakko was placed on long-term injured reserve after falling awkwardly into the end boards in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Kakko spent most of this season playing on an offensive line with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider but was never able to find his scoring touch, tallying only three points (2G / 1A) and 23 shots in 20 games.

Mackey was unable to crack the Rangers roster while he was with the team and will return to Hartford, where he has four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season. In corresponding moves, the Rangers have recalled Jonny Brodzinski and Adam Edstrom.
Edstrom and Jonny Brodzinski have both been recalled in moves corresponding to Connor Mackey being reassigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL. Edstrom was drafted 161st overall by the Rangers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and is still awaiting his NHL debut but has played well with Hartford this season, scoring nine points (7G / 2A) in 18 games.
Brodzinski and Adam Edstrom have both been recalled in moves corresponding to Connor Mackey being reassigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL. The 30-year-old Brodzinnski has been on fire with Hartford this season, scoring 25 points (11G / 14A) in 16 games.
Kakko exited the game in the second period after crashing awkwardly into the boards and will not return. It's a tough break in what was already a disappointing season for the 2019 second-overall pick. Kakko has registered just two goals, one assist, and 23 shots on goal in 20 games this season.
Goalie Start
Shesterkin initially struggled after returning from a lower-body injury, allowing seven goals in two games (1-1-0), posting an uncharacteristic .896 SV%, but will look to build on his more recent contest, a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers when he saved 36 of 37 shots (.973 SV%). The Rangers, who have points in 14 of their last 15 games (13-1-1), are heavy -212 home favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team dressing four forwards with 100 games or fewer of NHL experience.

The earliest Fox can return from LTIR is Wednesday, and his presence at practice on Monday is a promising sign for the Rangers. Fox has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 10 games and has not played since November 2nd. During his absence, Fox has been replaced on the Rangers' top powerplay by Erik Gustafsson, who has performed admirably, scoring 10 points (1G / 9A). That said, Gustafsson was averaging 2:46 less time-on-ice before Fox was injured, scoring only four points (2G / 2A) in 10 games, which is closer to what can be expected from him after Fox returns.
Goalie Start
Quick stopped all 32 shots that he faced in the Rangers' shutout victory over the Penguins on Wednesday. Quick has been absolutely outstanding in his first six games with the Rangers, leading the NHL in GAA (1.68) and SV% (.940). The veteran netminder has turned back the clock so far and will get another chance Saturday vs. the Bruins. The Rangers are +106 home underdogs.
Goalie Start
Shesterkin will return to the Rangers crease on Friday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 2021-22 Vezina winner has been overshined by backup, and 2011-12 Vezina runner-up, Jonathan Quick, who was sensational in the Rangers' last outing, saving 32 shots for a 1-0 shutout victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Since returning from injury, Shesterkin has allowed seven goals in two games (1-1-0), posting an uncharacteristic .896 SV%. That said, the Rangers have points in 11 of their last 12 games (10-1-1) and are -137 road favourites Friday afternoon.
Goalie Start
Igor Shesterkin has struggled in two games (1-1-0) since returning from a lower-body injury, allowing seven goals on 67 shots (.896 SV%), so the Rangers will turn to their veteran backup Quick Wednesday against their division rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins. Quick has proved skeptics wrong early this season, posting a 1.98 GAA and .928 SV% through six appearances (4-0-1), numbers that rival the best posted in any single season over his 17-year career. It is unlikely that Quick maintains these gaudy totals, but the Rangers, who have points in 11 of their last 12 games (10-1-1), are facing a Penguins team that will be without two of their top-six forwards, Rickard Rakell (upper-body) and Bryan Rust (lower-body).

Shesterkin played his first game in over two weeks on Saturday after recovering from a lower-body injury, making 30 saves (.909 SV%) in a 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils, and will start again on Monday against the Dallas Stars. The Rangers are a significantly stronger team with Shesterkin between the pipes but managed to hold down the fort while he was out of the lineup as the team has collected at least a point in 11 straight games (10-0-1). In two games against the Dallas Stars last season (2-0-0), Shesterkin was phenomenal, boasting a 2.03 GAA and .931 SV%.
Harpur played 42 games with the Rangers last season, tallying six points (1G / 5A), but spent all of the 2023-24 campaign to this point in the AHL with the Hartford Wolf Pack, scoring three points (1G / 2A) in seven games. He is undergoing pectoral surgery and will miss the rest of the season.
