Quick will start in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Quick has had a tale of two seasons, playing tremendously in limited action as Igor Shesterkin's backup, posting a 2.14 GAA and .924 SV% in 10 games (3-6-1). But an injury to Shesterkin thrust Quick into the starting role earlier this month, posting an ugly 4.43 GAA and .786 SV% in five games (0-4-1). The 39-year-old veteran Quick hopes to rebound on Tuesday when he visits his former team, the Los Angeles Kings, with whom he spent his first 16 NHL seasons.

The 30-year-old Martin, primarily an AHL goalie, has a 3.58 GAA and .882 SV% in 69 career NHL games (25-30-8). The Rangers enter Monday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a Ducks team on a three-game winning streak.

Quick will start vs. Ottawa on Wednesday.

With Igor Shesterkin (lower body) still sidelined, Quick will start for a fourth game in a row. Before taking over as New York's de facto starting goalie, Quick was showcasing marvelous numbers, posting a 2.14 GAA and .924 SV% in 10 games (3-6-1). Since Shesterkin's injury, Quick is boasting an ugly 4.01 GAA and .814 SV% in four outings (0-3-1). The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +103 home underdogs against an Ottawa Senators team that defeated the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 yesterday, snapping a four-game losing streak (0-4-0).

Quick will start vs. Seattle on Monday.

With Igor Shesterkin (lower body) still sidelined, Quick will return to the crease on Monday after a miserable performance over the weekend, allowing six goals on 20 shots (.700 SV%) in an eventual 10-2 loss to the Boston Bruins. The 39-year-old Quick has struggled since taking over for Shesterkin, posting an ugly 4.34 GAA and .776 SV% in three games (0-2-1). Before Shesterkin's injury, Quick was sporting an excellent 2.15 GAA and .924 SV% in 10 games (3-6-1).

Laba (upper-body) returned to practice as a full participant on Friday and is a possibility to return on Saturday in Boston.

Laba has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on New Year's Eve, but he returned to practice on Friday. The 22-year-old forward, in his first NHL season, has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 42 games.

Quick will start against the Sabres on Thursday.

Igor Shesterkin was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, so Quick will begin his era as the Rangers' interim starter when they travel to Buffalo on Thursday. Quick himself will be looking to snap a seven-game winless streak that spans over two months, with his last victory coming way back on November 7th, though that's largely due to a lack of goal support. The 40-year-old's record sits at 3-6-2 on the season despite posting a .919 SV% and 2.23 GAA across 11 appearances. Quick and the Rangers enter action on Thursday at +105 on the money line.

Jonathan Quick
Miller (upper-body) has been activated off IR and is expected to return vs. Buffalo on Thursday.

Miller has been sidelined for nearly three weeks because of an upper-body injury, but should return to the lineup on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 32-year-old Miller has a pedestrian 22 points (10G / 22A) in 35 games this season, but was producing at a better rate lately, with eight points (3G / 5A) in his last nine games.

J.T. Miller
Lafreniere (illness) is expected to play vs. Buffalo on Thursday.

The Rangers are battling a myriad of key injuries and had a scare on Wednesday when Lafreneiere was absent from practice because of an illness, but he should play on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 24-year-old Lafreniere has been held off the scoresheet in 28 of 44 games this season and continues to be unable to live up to the expectations he garnered when he was drafted first overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He has 24 points (9G / 15A) in 44 games this season.
