Shesterkin will return to New York's crease after he took the night off on Sunday and will look to continue his personal three game winning streak in Vegas on Tuesday.

The Rangers have had a wildly inconsistent 2025-26 season, struggling to score, but have won two of their last three (2-1-0), and will turn to Shesterkin on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Before his injury, he was playing on the team's top powerplay unit, but it appears that role has, at least temporarily, been taken by Will Cuylle.
