  • Rangers' Ryan Lindgren: Contributes helper

    Lindgren notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.

    Lindgren has been relatively productive lately with five assists and a plus-2 rating over his last 11 games. He helped out on an Adam Fox tally in the second period of Friday's contest. Lindgren is now at 14 points, 35 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 56 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 49 appearances. He's on pace for a career high in points -- his current high-water mark is 18 over 63 games in 2022-23. While his offense is up, the 26-year-old has sacrificed some physicality, keeping him at the level of a marginal fantasy option.

  • Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere: Registers assist Friday

    Lafreniere tallied an assist and took one shot on goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.

    Lafreniere was the sole helper on linemate Vincent Trocheck's goal in the first period. The 23-year-old winger is up to 18 assists, 32 points and 125 shots on net in 54 games this season. Lafreniere has two points over his last three contests and seems to be developing stronger chemistry with Trocheck since the center moved to the second line. The first selection from the 2020 NHL Entry Draft will have to improve the consistency of his offensive production if he wants to match his point total of 57 from a year ago.

  • Rangers' Adam Fox: Lights the lamp Friday

    Fox tallied a goal and took four shots on net in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.

    Fox's goal gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead and arrived one minute after Blake Lizotte's equalizer for Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old blueliner is up to four goals, 43 points, 93 shots on net and 74 blocks across 54 games this season. The Rangers' alternate captain is currently riding a three-game point streak. While his goal numbers are much lower than last season, his assist total of 39 is on pace to compete with the 56 helpers he registered a season ago. Fox has great value in fantasy for the rest of the season and is among the best playmakers from the blue line.

  • Rangers' Vincent Trocheck: Tallies multi-point performance

    Trocheck scored a goal, registered an assist, had two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-2 loss against the Penguins.

    Trocheck scored the lone goal of the first period off a feed from linemate Alexis Lafreniere. The 31-year-old center has 17 goals, 18 assists, 138 shots on net and 155 hits across 54 games this season. He has three points in his last two games and seems to be adjusting well to his new role on the Rangers' second line alongside Lafreniere and Reilly Smith. He is well off the pace to match his 77-point season from a year ago but has plenty of time to challenge for the 50-60 point threshold. If Trocheck can build up momentum while playing for Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off, his fantasy value will increase long term.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Protecting cage Saturday

    Quick will defend the visiting crease in Columbus on Saturday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

    Quick became the first American-born goaltender to win 400 career games Sunday, stopping 34 shots in a 4-2 victory over Vegas. Quick is 7-5-2 with a 3.04 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 17 games this season. The Blue Jackets are averaging 3.22 goals per game, tied for eighth in NHL scoring.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Concedes three goals

    Shesterkin stopped 23 of the 26 shots he saw in Friday's 3-2 home loss to the Penguins.

    All three goals Shesterkin conceded were in the game's second period. Overall, the 29-year-old goaltender has a 18-19-2 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.87 GAA. After having a seven-game unbeaten streak in January, Shesterkin has run into trouble with a 1-4-0 record in his last five appearances. During this stretch, he has a 3.84 GGA and a .835 save percentage. As the Rangers push towards a playoff spot, their top goaltender should continue to see plenty of volume in the crease. However, Shesterkin may lose some starts to Jonathan Quick if his quality of play doesn't improve soon.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Dealing with upper-body injury

    Shesterkin is dealing with an upper-body injury that carries a recovery timetable of 1-2 weeks, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

    Shesterkin started Friday's game against the Penguins and was charged with the loss while allowing three goals on 26 shots (.885 save percentage). While he'll be dealing with his injury over the next week or two, he may not be forced to miss game action for the Rangers due to the league's break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Dylan Garand was recalled by New York to serve as Jonathan Quick's backup on the road against the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

  • Rangers' Dylan Garand: Recalled from AHL

    Garand was called up from AHL Hartford on Saturday.

    Jonathan Quick is expected to get the start Saturday, as Igor Shesterkin started against the Penguins on Friday and suffered an upper-body injury that should keep him out of action 1-2 weeks, necessitating the recall of Garand to back up Quick. Garand had a 12-7-4 record with a 2.68 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 23 AHL appearances before his recall.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Expected to start Friday

    Shesterkin was the first netminder off the ice at morning skate, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports, and is slated to patrol the home crease versus Pittsburgh on Friday.

    Shesterkin snapped a three-game losing streak Wednesday, stopping 15 shots in a 3-2 victory over Boston. Shesterkin is 18-18-2 with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage. He has been inconsistent this season and thus far it's his worst year in the NHL during his six-season career. The Penguins are generating 2.87 goals per game, 17th in the NHL this season.

  • Rangers' Urho Vaakanainen: Still under the weather

    Vaakanainen (illness) won't be in action versus the Penguins on Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

    Vaakanainen will miss his second straight game due to his illness and should probably be considered a long shot to play in the second game of the Rangers' back-to-back versus Columbus on Saturday. With Vaakanainen unavailable, Zac Jones figures to stay in the lineup after logging 13:30 of ice time against Boston on Wednesday.

  • Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Adds helper in win

    Brodzinski produced an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

    Brodzinski has two points over his last three games since he took over as the third-line center. The 31-year-old is up to a total of eight points, 26 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 23 appearances. His ice time is still pretty limited, so it's unlikely he'll be consistent enough to help in most fantasy formats, especially with a lack of non-scoring production.

  • Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Contributes helper in win

    Miller provided an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

    Miller has two goals and four assists over his last eight outings. The 25-year-old defenseman set up Vincent Trocheck's game-tying goal in the third period. Miller has taken a step back on offense for the second year in a row -- he's at just 13 points through 47 outings, though it appears he's turning things around with his recent play. He's added 72 shots on net, 72 hits, 68 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while seeing top-four minutes.

  • Rangers' Adam Fox: Puts up assist in win

    Fox logged a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

    Fox has a helper in back-to-back contests following a three-game dry spell in which he went minus-5. The 26-year-old defenseman had the secondary helper on Chris Kreider's tally in the third period. Fox is up to 42 points (16 on the power play, two shorthanded), 89 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 53 appearances this season as the Rangers' top blueliner.

  • Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Dishes pair of helpers

    Zibanejad notched two assists, one while shorthanded, and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

    This was Zibanejad's second multi-point effort in a row, and he's earned six points over his last three outings. He set up Artemi Panarin on the opening goal and Chris Kreider on a shorthanded tally that stood as the game-winner. Zibanejad is up to 35 points, 120 shots on net, 35 blocks and a minus-24 rating over 53 appearances. He's played on the right wing since the Rangers traded for J.T. Miller, and the extra positional flexibility Zibanejad could eventually receive will bolster his fantasy value, especially if he stays productive on offense.

  • Rangers' Chris Kreider: Nets shortie in win

    Kreider scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

    Kreider cashed in on a pass from Mika Zibanejad in the third period for what ended up being the game-winning goal. While those two forwards aren't even-strength linemates anymore, they remain a key part of the penalty kill. Kreider has two points through three outings in February and is up to 16 goals, three assists, 112 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-7 rating over 45 outings. He's earned six points on the power play and three while shorthanded.

  • Rangers' Vincent Trocheck: Tallies in Wednesday's win

    Trocheck scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

    Trocheck had been held off the scoresheet over the previous three contests. He may be adjusting to a new linemate, as he's centering Reilly Smith and Alexis Lafreniere since the Rangers brought in J.T. Miller via trade. Trocheck won't be a leader on offense, but he can chip in good all-around production. He's at 16 goals, 33 points, 137 shots on net, 153 hits, 56 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 53 appearances in a top-six role this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Rangers' Artemi Panarin: Opens scoring in win

    Panarin scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

    Panarin has scored in consecutive contests and has earned five points over his last three outings. The winger converted on a pass from Mika Zibanejad to open the scoring 6:07 into the second period. Panarin is up to 23 goals, 57 points, 157 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 51 appearances. The Rangers' new-look top line with Panarin and Zibanejad centered by J.T. Miller has played well, so all three should be major factors in fantasy for the rest of the campaign.
