NHL Player News

Quick will defend the road net against the Kings on Tuesday, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

Quick will get the second half of the Rangers' back-to-back after Spencer Martin plays in Monday's road matchup against Anaheim. The 39-year-old Quick has allowed three or more goals in each of his past six outings, going 0-5-1 with a 5.64 GAA and a .791 save percentage during that span. Los Angeles is tied for 30th in the league with 2.54 goals per game this season.

Jones (upper body) was moved from regular IR to long-term injured reserve Monday, per PuckPedia.

Placing Jones on LTIR counters activating Matthew Tkachuk (groin) from LTIR in terms of the cap implications. Jones was already believed to be week-to-week, and this move further cements the reality that the defenseman isn't close to returning. Jones has six goals and 24 points in 40 appearances in 2025-26. He last played Jan. 2.

Brink (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Following a six-game absence, Brink is poised to return to a middle-six role in Monday's lineup against Vegas. He has compiled 11 goals, 20 points, 71 shots on net and 52 hits across 41 appearances this season.

Martin is set to start on the road against Anaheim on Monday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Martin earned his first NHL win of the season when he stopped 25 of 28 shots against Philadelphia on Saturday. He has allowed eight goals on 54 shots (.852 save percentage) in three outings with the Rangers in 2025-26. The 30-year-old netminder is with the team because Igor Shesterkin (lower body) is on injured reserve. Anaheim has improved to 24-21-3 after winning its past three games while outscoring the competition 8-4 over that stretch.

Studnicka was put on waivers Monday versus San Jose, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Studnicka has no points, 16 shots and 19 hits in 18 outings with Florida in 2025-26. He was a healthy scratch in the Panthers' past two games. Studnicka will presumably report to AHL Charlotte if he clears waivers.

Lankinen will protect the home net against the Islanders on Monday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Lankinen has gone 0-3-1 in his last five appearances while allowing 15 goals on 140 shots. He has a 6-13-4 record this season with a 3.36 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 24 outings. The Islanders sit 23rd in the league this campaign with 2.85 goals per game.

Vladar (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Monday, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Bobby Brink (upper body) was taken off IR in a corresponding move. Vladar last played Wednesday, so this move can be retroactive to that date. The 28-year-old goaltender has a 16-7-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .905 save percentage in 28 outings in 2025-26. Samuel Ersson and Aleksei Kolosov are competing for work while Vladar is on the shelf.

Robinson suffered an upper-body injury Monday against Buffalo and won't return to the game.

Robinson recorded a shot in 2:02 of ice time before exiting the contest. He has 10 goals, 15 points, 58 shots and 60 hits in 43 appearances in 2025-26. If Robinson can't play Thursday versus Chicago, then Jesperi Kotkaniemi will probably draw back into the lineup.

Dostal is expected to start at home against the Rangers on Monday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Dostal has won his past two starts while saving 50 of 53 shots (.943 save percentage). He's 15-12-2 with a 3.12 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 31 outings in 2025-26. The Rangers were in freefall, dropping eight of nine games (1-6-2) from Dec. 27-Jan. 14, but they are coming off a 6-3 victory against Philadelphia on Saturday to improve their record to 21-22-6.

Palat (illness) will play against Calgary on Monday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

After missing Saturday's 4-1 loss to Carolina, Palat will return to a top-six role versus the Flames on Monday. He has contributed four goals, 10 points, 51 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 84 hits through 47 outings this campaign.
