Activated from injured reserveShesterkin (groin) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

ImpactShesterkin is expected to practice Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for a potential return Thursday against the Flyers. The Russian netminder has been out since he was hurt March 4 versus the Devils. With Shesterkin active, Keith Kinkaid returned to the Rangers' taxi squad.

Moves to taxi squadKakko was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

ImpactKakko ended an eight-game point drought with a two-goal effort against the Sabres in Monday's win. The 20-year-old has just four goals and two assists through 24 games this year. Perhaps this is a signal that Kakko's finding his groove.

Sent back to taxi squadKinkaid was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

ImpactKinkaid's move to the taxi squad corresponded with the Rangers activating Igor Shesterkin (groin) from injured reserve. This likely means the 31-year-old Kinkaid will return to a depth role rather than drawing into many games -- he's appeared in seven of the Rangers' last nine contests while Shesterkin was out.

Added to taxi squadKravtsov was added to the Rangers' taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

ImpactKravtsov scored 16 goals and added eight assists across 49 KHL games before arriving in New York. The 2018 ninth overall pick has cleared COVID-19 protocol and can start practicing with the team soon. His NHL debut may not be too far away.

Off to minorsHuska was assigned to AHL Hartford on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

ImpactIn a corresponding move, Igor Shesterkin (groin) was activated from injured reserve. Huska's services as the taxi squad goalie won't be needed if Shesterkin is good to go -- the former can instead resume playing with the Wolf Pack.

Shifts to AHLReunanen was assigned to AHL Hartford on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

ImpactReunanen recorded an assist across 8:57 of ice time in his NHL debut last week. However, that was the only game that he played during this stint with the big club. The 2016 fourth-round pick will continue to develop in a more consistent AHL role.
