Sent to taxi squad Kinkaid was reassigned to the taxi squad Monday, according to CapFriendly.
Impact Kinkaid appears to have carved out a role as the No. 2 goaltender behind Igor Shesterkin for right now. He'll likely be recalled for Tuesday's game against Washington unless the Rangers elect to use Alexandar Georgiev for the first time since March 19.

Crushed by Caps Kinkaid made 17 saves in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
Impact After a scoreless first period, Washington found the back of the net for four straight goals over the next 25-plus minutes of game time, then held on as New York staged a furious third-period rally. Kinkaid had a good beginning to his Rangers tenure but has now allowed five goals in two of his last four starts, and on the season he has a 2.61 GAA with a rough .891 save percentage in eight appearances.

Capitals hold on to beat Rangers for 10th win in 11 games
Tom Wilson had two goals, Alex Ovechkin scored the 724th of his career and the Washington Capitals held on to beat the New York Rangers 5-4 for their 10th victory in 11 gamesMARCH 28, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Starting against Washington Kinkaid will start in the road crease in Sunday's game versus the Capitals, Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic reports.
Impact This comes as a bit of a surprise considering that Alexandar Georgiev is healthy. However, Kinkaid has proven to be solid enough to earn another start. Over the past four games, the 31-year-old Kinkaid has recorded a .906 save percentage and a 3-0-1 record. The Capitals will be a challenging foe, as they've won 13 of their last 15 games while averaging 3.7 goals.

Sent back to taxi squad Kinkaid was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Impact Kinkaid'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.

Shaky in Monday's win Kinkaid turned aside 16 shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.
Impact The 31-year-old cruised into the third period protecting a 3-1 lead, but Kinkaid let Buffalo back in the game by allowing two quick tallies to tie the score. Fortunately for him, New York answered back. Kinkaid is 3-0-1 in his last four starts, but since shutting out the Bruins on March 13 he has a mediocre 2.95 GAA and .885 save percentage.
