Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Gets little help again
Shesterkin stopped 23 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Devils.
The Rangers are in a deep funk right now, losing six of their last seven games, and Shesterkin hasn't been able to steal any wins to help turn the ship around. Turnovers and defensive breakdowns led to the Devils' two first-period tallies, while all three of New Jersey's second-period goals came on power plays. Shesterkin has dropped five straight decisions, and since the beginning of November he's gone 4-7-0 in 11 starts with an uncharacteristic 3.46 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Rangers' Filip Chytil: Makes key play in return
Chytil had one shot on goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.
Chytil returned to action after missing seven games due to an upper-body injury. He didn't get credit on any of New York's goals, but Chytil was indirectly responsible for setting up Kaako Kappo's game-winning tally with 24 seconds left. As Montreal attempted to clear the zone, Chytil kept the puck in the Canadiens' end, leading to the sequence that resulted in the winning tally. He's bounced around the lines this season but saw action on the top even-strength unit Saturday, getting 16:22 TOI, nearly three minutes more than his season average.

Rangers' Will Cuylle: Points in four consecutive
Cuylle recorded a power-play assist, one shot on net and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.
Cuylle was involved in a frantic final minute as the Rangers attempted to take advantage of a late Montreal penalty. He picked up a loose puck in the slot, drawing the attention of goalie Sam Montembeault, before setting up Kaapo Kakko at the side of the net for the game-winning goal with 24 seconds remaining. That saved New York, which had blown a two-goal lead in the third period. Cuylle, who has points in four straight contests, is on a point-per-game pace over the last 12 (six goals, six assists).

Kakko scored a power-play goal, had two shots on net and blocked an attempt in Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal.

He's up to four goals, nine assists, 38 shots, 13 hits, seven blocks, 14 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 23 outings.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Pots first power-play marker
Zibanejad had a goal and assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal. He also had three shots on net and two PIM.
Zibanejad's power-play assist in the first period snapped an 11-game run without a point while the Rangers were a skater up. In the second period, he tallied on the man advantage, when he pump-faked and expertly used a Chris Kreider screen to beat Sam Montembeault. It was surprisingly the first power-play tally of the season for Zibanejad, who entered 2024-25 with double-digit power-play goals in seven consecutive campaigns. It's been a rough start for the 31-year-old Zibanejad, who owns a minus-14 rating through 23 outings.

Panarin scored a goal and an assist on the power play, fired five shots on net and blocked a shot in Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal.

He later set up Mika Zibanejad's power-play strike in the second period. With the Rangers looking to end a five-game losing skid, Panarin came out firing. In addition to the five attempts that reached the net, he took another six that missed the mark. He's up to five tallies and five helpers on the power play.

Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Helps Rangers break skid
Quick stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Other than that stinker, he's been excellent between the pipes, including a pair of shutouts. The 38-year-old netminder has a 2.03 goals-against average and a .936 save percentage in seven outings (six starts). The Rangers next play Monday at home against New Jersey.
