New York Rangers News

Quick was the first goalie off the ice at New York's morning skate.

With Igor Shesterkin (upper body) still sidelined, Quick will likely start for the third time in the last four games. Quick struggled in his most recent outing, allowing six goals on 27 shots (.778 SV%) in a 7-4 loss to the Washington Capitals. That said, the 38-year-old Quick has been serviceable when called upon on most nights, posting a 2.83 GAA and .903 SV% in 14 appearances (6-5-0). The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as +146 home underdogs against a Dallas Stars team they defeated 3-1 three weeks ago.

The struggling Rangers have been outscored 19-6 in their last four games (0-4-0) and will turn to Quick between the pipes on Thursday against the Boston Bruins. Quick allowed five goals on 25 shots (.833 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on December 23rd. He has a 2.69 GAA and .907 SV% in 12 appearances this season (5-4-0). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as slight -106 home favorites against a Bruins club coming off a 3-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.

Shesterkin will be placed on IR with an upper-body injury.

Shesterkin was between the pipes for the entirety of Monday's 5-3 loss to the Florida Panthers but was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury. A byproduct of poor team play, Shesterkin has struggled this season, posting an uncharacteristic 3.10 GAA and .906 SV% in 27 games (11-15-1). The 29-year-old Shesterkin will be sidelined until at least January 5th.

Quick will start in New Jersey on Monday.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the struggling Rangers will turn to Quick between the pipes on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. The 38-year-old Quick has been solid in limited action this season, posting a 2.47 GAA and .915 SV% in 10 appearances (5-3-0). The Rangers enter Monday's contest as +207 road underdogs against a Devils squad that defeated them 5-1 on December 2nd.

Panarin (upper-body) will play in Dallas on Friday.

Panarin has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will return for Friday's game against the Dallas Stars. The Rangers have failed to score more than three goals in five straight (1-4-0) and can ill-afford to be without Panarin's team-leading 36 points (15G / 21A) in 29 games.

Shesterkin will start in Dallas on Friday.

The Rangers are 3-8-0 in their last 11 games and will be desperate to right their ship on Friday against the Dallas Stars. Despite an ugly 2-8-0 record in his previous 10 games, Shesterkin has been serviceable between the pipes, albeit not his usual elite self, posting a .904 SV%. He has a 3.04 GAA and .908 SV% in 23 games this season (10-12-1). The Rangers enter Friday's contest as +156 road underdogs against a Stars squad that was defeated 5-3 by the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.

Panarin (upper-body) will be a game-time decision in Dallas on Friday.

Panarin has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury and his status for Friday's game against the Dallas Stars remains up in the air. The Rangers have failed to score more than three goals in five straight (1-4-0) and can ill-afford to be without Panarin's team-leading 36 points (15G / 21A) in 29 games.
