Shesterkin was on the wrong end of a 4-3 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, snapping his seven-game winning streak, but will return to the crease on Monday. The 28-year-old netminder has been sensational since returning from the All-Star break, allowing fewer than two goals in five of eight games (7-0-1) while boasting an outstanding .948 SV%. The Rangers are +114 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers squad riding a four-game winning streak.

Brisson was the odd-man out of Vegas' roster on Monday as Jack Eichel (knee) returned from Injured Reserve and will head back to Henderson (AHL).

The undrafted 27-year-old defenseman has played 40 career NHL games across stints with the Rangers, Arizona Coyotes, and Calgary Flames.

Martin will make his second start in three games as Carolina heads to Columbus to face his former team in the Blue Jackets on Thursday. The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers from Columbus in January and has been sensational for the Hurricanes with his 3-0-1 record, .925 SV% and 2.00 GAA in four games. He'll take on his old team on the road in Columbus, who have lost three of their last five games and are struggling offensively ranking 22nd in the NHL in goals per game (2.91).

Kartye has been in and out of the lineup the last month and will return to the lineup on Thursday, replacing Andre Burakovsky (undisclosed). The 22-year-old Kartye has 15 points (8G / 7A) in his rookie season (53 games) but has been held off the scoresheet in the last seven games.

Shesterkin had the night off in a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday but will tend the twine in a rematch on Wednesday night.

Despite losing to them less than a week ago, the Rangers are sizeable -251 home favourites against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.

Shesterkin will look to extend New York's eight-game winning streak as he takes the crease for a third-straight start on Thursday in New Jersey. The 28-year-old all-star has surprisingly been the lesser of the Rangers' two starters this season, with his 23-12-1 record, 2.79 GAA and .904 SV%. He'll head right down the road to take on the New Jersey Devils, who have lost two of their last three games and rank 10th in the NHL in both goals per game (3.36) and shots per game (31.9).

Gustav Lindstrom will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Vaakanainen to re-enter the lineup after not playing on Monday. The 25-year-old Vaakanainen has nine points (1G / 8A), 48 shots, and 56 hits in 46 games this season.

Brodzinski was having a terrific season with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL), scoring 25 points (11G / 14A) in 16 games, resulting in his recall earlier this season. He's managed to be an effective offensive contributor at the NHL level and has been rewarded with a two-year $1.575 million contract extension. The 30-year-old has 15 points (4G / 11A) in 37 games with the Rangers this season.

Shesterkin will return to the crease for the fourth time in the last five games on Tuesday night. The former Vezina winner salvaged an overtime victory on Sunday at the Stadium Series against the New York Islanders despite allowing five goals on 41 shots (.878 SV%). Shesterkin has been uncharacteristically inconsistent all season, but he and the Rangers remain -127 home favourites entering action against an injury-depleted Dallas Stars team that played yesterday and lost 4-3 in a shootout to the Boston Bruins.
