Impact Shesterkin has been much better since his return from an upper-body injury, going 2-0-1 with a 1.92 GAA in his three starts. With the 29-year-old Russian available again, the Rangers seem set to continue to ride their workhorse backstop, as this will be his fourth straight start. Still, a back-to-back against Columbus and Montreal on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, figures to see Jonathan Quick get into a game.

Looks sharp in return Shesterkin made 21 saves in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Devils.

Impact Making his return from a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, Shesterkin made a number of big stops, none bigger than on Dawson Mercer's shorthanded breakaway midway through the third period to keep the game tied at 2-2. The 29-year-old netminder has had trouble building any momentum this season -- his longest win streak is only three games -- but Shesterkin is more than capable of flipping the switch and putting together a dominant second half if he stays healthy and gets consistent help from his defense.
