It will be a slightly revamped lineup for the New York Rangers. Igor Shesterkin is recovered from his ankle injury and will be in goal. Anthony DeAngelo is healthy again and will be in the lineup. Newest Ranger Julien Gauthier will play right wing on the fourth line with Brett Howden at center and Brendan Lemieux.
The healthy scratches will be Brendan Smith and Greg McKegg, ending the speculation that they would be sitting Jesper Fast due to an imminent deal.
Shesterkin getting the start is a reaffirmation by Coach David Quinn that he is the number one goalie.
