Braden Schneider To Miss Final Two Games

New York Rangers defenseman Braden Schneider (upper body) will exit the lineup for the final two games of the regular season. The 23-year-old has been dealing with an upper-body injury during the season and will now get proper time to heal, with the Rangers eliminated from postseason contention. During a difficult campaign, Schneider was one of only a few bright spots for the Rangers. He totaled a career-high 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) in 80 games, ranking first on the team with 145 blocks and third with 146 hits. Matthew Robertson has been summoned from the AHL and looks set to fill in for Schneider in the last couple of games.

Artemi Panarin Tallies Three Points In Demanding Victory

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin tallied three points during their demanding 9-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday evening. In the opening frame, Panarin tallied the primary assist on Vincent Trocheck's power-play goal. Later in the frame, he would find the back of the net on a snapshot. Then, in the third period, Panarin would score his second goal of the contest with another snapshot. Over his last seven contests, Panarin has been quite busy on the scoresheet, scoring six goals and adding six helpers. Panarin has tallied three of these helpers on the power play and logged 24 shots on goal over this stretch. Through 77 games, Panarin has tallied 87 points. He remains a must-start player as the Rangers look to keep their playoff hopes alive on Saturday against the Hurricanes.

Mika Zibanejad Records Four Assists In Losing Effort

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad dished out four assists on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers but could not save his team from an 8-5 defeat. Zibanejad's playmaking helped the Rangers take a 4-3 lead in the third period, but the team ultimately allowed five goals in the last 12 minutes of play. The four-point effort marks a season-high for Zibanejad, whose overall form in 2024-25 has been lacking. He has averaged his fewest points since the 2017-18 campaign, notching 17 goals and 39 assists over 56 contests. This will likely be Zibanejad's first season with fewer than 20 goals in eight years.

K'Andre Miller A Game-Time Decision Wednesday

New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers. He has been battling an illness this week and may sit out a second straight game. Zac Jones took over Miller's spot in the lineup on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jones had four shots and one block in the game over 17:52 of action as the Rangers' playoff hopes suffered a blow with a 5-1 defeat. If Miller isn't feeling well enough to return, Jones will continue to accompany Will Borgen on the second defensive pairing on Wednesday night.

Matt Rempe Returns To Action Monday

New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe (upper body) will rejoin the lineup for Monday's clash against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has been unavailable for four games while recovering from an upper-body injury. Rempe will mainly add physicality to a Rangers team that is desperately trying to stay alive in the playoff race. In 36 outings this season, Rempe has delivered 103 hits while amassing 63 penalty minutes. Offensively, he has contributed two goals and three assists with 25 shots on goal. Brett Berard is likely to be removed from the lineup to accommodate Rempe's return.

K'Andre Miller Iffy For Monday

New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller (illness) is a game-time call for Monday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He is battling an illness and may have to exit the lineup after heating up offensively. Miller has averaged a point per game over the past four contests. He has tallied 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) for the season in 70 games, adding 101 blocks and 103 hits to his account. Zac Jones is anticipated to replace Miller in the lineup if he is not well enough to play at puck drop.

Mika Zibanejad Good To Go Against Devils

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad (illness) is expected to play against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. Zibanejad was iffy for the contest after missing Friday's practice due to an illness. He is expected to be accompanied by Will Cuylle and Jonny Brodzinski on the third line. The 2024-25 season has been a rough campaign for Zibanejad, whose offensive contributions have been limited to 16 goals and 35 assists in 75 outings. He holds a team-worst minus-20 rating. Over his last eight appearances, Zibanejad has only added to his points tally twice.

Artemi Panarin Tallies Three Points In Overtime Victory

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin tallied three points during their 5-4 overtime victory over the Minnesota Wild. In the opening frame, Panarin would tally the secondary helper on Braden Schneider's sixth goal of the campaign. In the second, Panarin would find the back of the net himself on a wrist shot. In overtime, he would tally the primary helper on Vincent Trocheck's game-winning goal. This was Panarin's third-straight outing tallying multiple points. Over his previous 16 contests, the 33-year-old has found the back of the net 11 times and added 12 assists, with three of those helpers coming on the power play. Fantasy managers should continue to view Panarin as a high-end winger in all standard formats. He will look to stay hot on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils.

Artemi Panarin Scores Twice On Saturday

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin scored twice during their 6-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday evening. Panarin did all of his damage in the opening frame. He scored both of his goals on a wrist shot and during 5-on-5 play. During the contest, he held a +2 rating and logged three total shots on goal. This was his second-straight contest tallying at least two points. Through 15 games this month, Panarin has found the back of the net 10 times and added 10 helpers. During this stretch, he held a +8 rating and averaged 2.8 shots on goal per game. Through 72 total games this season, the 33-year-old has scored 33 goals and added 46 helpers, with 23 of his total points coming on the power play. He will look to stay hot on Wednesday against the Minnesota Wild.

Matt Rempe Out Week-To-Week Due To Upper-Body Injury

New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe (upper body) is set to miss some time after the team labeled him as week-to-week. Rempe has sustained an upper-body injury and will come out of the lineup on Friday against the Anaheim Ducks. With only three weeks remaining in the regular season, Rempe's campaign could be over. The 22-year-old enforcer has registered five points (two goals, three assists) in 36 games, along with 103 hits and 63 penalty minutes. Brett Berard, who has totaled eight points (four goals, four assists) in 28 games, may see regular action during Rempe's absence.

Arthur Kaliyev Done For The Year

New York Rangers right wing Arthur Kaliyev (upper body) has been ruled out for the rest of the season, including the playoffs. He has already been out of action for three games due to an upper-body injury. Health issues plagued Kaliyev throughout the season, resulting in only 14 appearances. The 23-year-old scored three goals and dished out one assist. Kaliyev has only been a fourth-liner, averaging 11:12 of ice time for the season, and his absence will not have an impact on fantasy hockey.

Igor Shesterkin Remains In Rangers Crease Sunday

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin is set to play for the second consecutive day on Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers. He produced his fifth shutout of the season in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Shesterkin also defeated the Minnesota Wild 3-2 in overtime on Thursday night, so he is in the midst of a very busy stretch and will make his third appearance in four days. Shesterkin has not won three consecutive starts since January when he had his season-best four-game winning streak. The 2022 Vezina Trophy winner boasts a 23-22-4 record for the season and has given up 2.79 goals with a .907 save percentage. Following a tough stretch, the Oilers are on a 3-2-0 run and are sure to present a stern test for Shesterkin on Sunday.

Artemi Panarin Extends Point Streak To Eight Games

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin tallied a goal and an assist during their victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday evening. In the second period, Panarin found the back of the net during 5-on-5 play. Later in the third period, Panarin would tally the primary helper on Vincent Trocheck's 19th goal of the season. This outing extended his point streak to eight games. During this impressive stretch, the 33-year-old has found the back of the net six times and added six helpers. He has averaged 3.5 shots on goal per game and tallied two of his helpers on the power play. Through 65 total contests this season, Panarin has earned 71 points (29 goals) with 22 of them coming on the power play. He remains a must-start player in all formats and a top option in DFS.

Adam Fox Ready To Rejoin Rangers Lineup

New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox (upper body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is poised to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He has missed eight games due to an upper-body injury. Fox should reclaim his spot on the first defensive pairing and the top power-play unit. K'Andre Miller's fantasy value will take a hit with Fox's return. Before his injury, Fox registered points in seven consecutive contests. He has managed five goals and 48 points in 58 games this season. Carson Soucy will likely be the odd man out on defense for Rangers against Columbus.

Igor Shesterkin Starting On Thursday

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin will get the starting nod on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild. Shesterkin allowed two goals on 24 shots during his last outing against the Winnipeg Jets. He will have another tough matchup against the Minnesota Wild who are also in the Western Conference playoff picture. Before his loss on Tuesday, Shesterkin held a 3-1-2 record over his last six contests with a .921 save percentage and a 2.32 GAA. During this span, he allowed one goal or less in two games but allowed three or more in the other four. Through 47 total games this season, the 29-year-old has had a disappointing season to his standard as he sits with a modest 21-22-4, a 2.87 GAA, and a .905 save percentage. He is a solid play in DFS as he still carries high upside despite a tough matchup.

Jonathan Quick • G • Rangers

Jonathan Quick Inks One-Year Extension With Rangers

The New York Rangers have signed goaltender Jonathan Quick to a one-year extension worth $1.55 million. After winning three Stanley Cups with the Los Angeles Kings, Quick has become the No. 2 option behind Igor Shesterkin. Last season, Quick performed quite well in this role, holding an 18-6-2 record with a .911 save percentage and a 2.62 GAA. He posted two shutouts. Quick has seen his production decline this season as he has held a higher 3.14 GAA with a .896 save percentage across 21 contests. Earlier this season, Quick became the only United States-born netminder to win 400 games at the NHL level. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Quick to serve as the backup option behind Shesterkin as the Rangers hope for a late-season playoff push. Given his lack of consistent ice time, he should only be rostered in deeper formats and could be a viable streaming option in favorable matchups.

Chris Kreider Returns To Action Saturday

New York Rangers left wing Chris Kreider (upper body) will be back in the lineup on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators. He has missed six games due to an upper-body injury. Kreider will replace Brett Berard, joining the third line. In his last outing, Kreider managed to score against the Buffalo Sabres, but his season as a whole has been disappointing. The veteran winger has accumulated 21 points (17 goals, four assists) over 48 appearances. In two outings against the Senators, Kreider has gone scoreless while registering only two shots on goal.

Carson Soucy • D • Rangers

Carson Soucy Makes Rangers Debut Saturday

New York Rangers defenseman Carson Soucy will make his first appearance for the team in Saturday's contest against the Ottawa Senators. Soucy joined the Rangers only a couple of days when he was picked up from the Vancouver Canucks for a conditional 2025 third-round draft pick. This season, Soucy has recorded 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 59 appearances. On the defensive end, he has added 92 blocks and 86 hits. Due to his limited offensive ability, Soucy is not a good fantasy option. Soucy will skate alongside Zac Jones on the third defensive pairing against Ottawa, taking Calvin de Haan's place in the lineup.

Igor Shesterkin Starting On Wednesday

New York goaltender Igor Shesterkin was the first goaltender off during Wednesday's morning skate, which suggests he will likely take the starter's crease on Wednesday evening when the Rangers face the Washington Capitals. Shesterkin has begun to find his footing after a rough stretch during January and February. Over his last four starts, Shesterkin has held a 3-1 record with a .939 save percentage and a 1.77 GAA. He posted a 21-save shutout in his last outing against the New York Islanders. However, before this strong stretch, Shesterkin carried a poor .817 save percentage with a hefty 4.57 GAA. Overall, the 29-year-old is on pace to have the worst season of his career but remains a must-start goaltender in all standard formats. In addition, given his recent play, he is worth considering in DFS matchups, despite facing a potent Washington offense.

Igor Shesterkin Shuts The Door On Monday

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin stopped all 21 shots he saw against the New York Islanders on Monday evening. The Rangers had the slight advantage in the shot total but Shesterkin was able to step up when called on. Since allowing five goals on February 22, Shesterkin has gone 3-1 over his last four contests. During this stretch, he has held a strong .939 save percentage with a 1.77 GAA. He has only allowed more than two goals twice. However, prior to this recent surge, Shesterkin posted a hefty 3.45 GAA and a .865 save percentage over his last eight contests. Despite the uneven play at times, Shesterkin remains a must-start goaltender in all formats. He will look to stay hot on Wednesday evening when the Rangers host the Washington Capitals.
