Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Takes tough loss Tuesday
Shesterkin stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Bruins. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Shesterkin kept Boston off the board for more than 56 minutes before Fraser Minten finally beat him with 3:46 remaining in regulation. JJ Peterka added another goal just 52 seconds later, and Boston's third tally went into an empty net after Shesterkin was pulled for an extra attacker. Despite taking the loss, Shesterkin had a solid showing overall, though he'll need more support from the offense if he's going to earn a few wins here and there. The star goaltender, who posted a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 51 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, should remain between the pipes when the Rangers take on the Lightning on Thursday at Madison Square Garden.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: In goal for Opening night
Shesterkin will tend the twine on the road versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Jack Studley of Boston Hockey Now reports.
Shesterkin is unsurprisingly between the pipes Tuesday, as he will be a lot of the time when the Rangers are playing this season. A lower-body injury in 2025-26 limited Shesterkin to 51 games, his lowest total in the last five seasons. He remained effective with a 25-19-6 record, a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage, and he should be capable of steady numbers even with a retooled team in front of him.

Rangers' Vincent Iorio: Hits waivers Tuesday
Iorio was placed on waivers by the Rangers on Tuesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Iorio was placed on injured reserve by the Rangers on Monday before he ultimately ended up on waivers Tuesday. The 23-year-old blueliner had a shot to make the NHL roster after appearing in six regular-season games for the Rangers in 2025-26. If he clears waivers over the next 24 hours, he will report to AHL Hartford, where he could play a sizable role to begin the 2026-27 campaign.

Rangers' Vincent Iorio: Put on injured reserve
Iorio (lower body) landed on injured reserve Monday, according to PuckPedia.
Per Mollie Walker of the New York Post, Iorio skated Monday in a non-contact jersey, so his injury doesn't appear to be overly serious. The Rangers had to either waive Iorio or place him on IR on Monday in order to be compliant with the 23-man roster limit, but it's currently unclear how long Iorio will be sidelined for.

Rangers' Adam Sykora: Shifts to IR
Sykora (lower body) will begin the 2026-27 regular season on injured reserve, per the NHL Media Site.
Sykora's move to injured reserve was expected, as the Rangers had already announced that he would miss roughly 4-5 months. The 22-year-old winger's absence is a tough loss for New York, who saw him post three goals, four points, 15 shots on net, 20 hits and 10 blocked shots across 11 regular-season outings in his rookie campaign. While he's not expected to return until the second half of the upcoming campaign, Sykora could play a meaningful role for the Rangers once he's healthy.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Headed to waivers
Garand Mollie Walker of the New York Post on waivers by the Rangers on Sunday, per Mollie Walker.
After a highly anticipated training camp battle between Garand and Joonas Korpisalo, the Rangers opted to go with the latter. While Korpisalo has more NHL experience, sources close to the team disclosed that the Rangers believe Garand needs more time playing as a No. 1 option to aid in his development. The 24-year-old backstop was excellent in his first three NHL outings last season, where he posted a 2-0-1 record, a 1.62 GAA and a .948 save percentage. While he had an up and down season with AHL Hartford across 36 regular-season appearances a year ago, the Rangers will risk losing him through waivers in an effort to get him more reps as a true lead option in the minors.

Rangers' Taylor Raddysh: Going on waivers
Raddysh will be placed on waivers Sunday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Raddysh collected 10 assists, 19 points, 53 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 49 hits in 68 appearances for the Rangers during the 2025-26 regular season. If he goes unclaimed, he could report to AHL Hartford for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: One of each in preseason win
Zibanejad scored a goal, dished an assist and added two hits in Friday's 6-1 preseason win over the Islanders.
Zibanejad looks set to open the season as the Rangers' top center. While the team around him has gotten a remodel in recent years, Zibanejad stood out with a 78-point effort in 81 games in 2025-26. He also had 105 hits last year, topping the 100-hit mark for the first time since 2018-19. The 33-year-old can offer a little of everything, making him a quality middle-round fantasy option.

Rangers' Adam Fox: Trio of assists Friday
Fox logged three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-1 preseason win over the Islanders.
Fox looked sharp in this contest. The 28-year-old defenseman is set to lead the Rangers' blue line in 2026-27, and he should be a high-quality option in fantasy, though a step down from the NHL's top tier of blueliners. Fox has missed the 70-point mark in consecutive seasons but should still be capable of generating significant offense, particularly as part of the first power-play unit.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Cruises to preseason win
Shesterkin stopped 15 of 16 shots in Friday's 6-1 preseason win over the Islanders.
Facing a largely AHL-level lineup, Shesterkin had little work to do. The 30-year-old netminder is ready to handle the bulk of the time in goal for the Rangers in 2026-27, though he'll have a capable backup on hand in Joonas Korpisalo. Shesterkin may struggle to get wins for a team in a retooling phase, but he should post decent ratios even with a heavy workload.

Rangers' William Trudeau: Hits waivers
Trudeau was put on waivers by the Rangers on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Trudeau had eight goals, 20 points and 54 PIM in 62 regular-season appearances with AHL Laval in 2025-26. The 23-year-old defenseman has participated in four AHL campaigns, but he hasn't made his NHL debut.

Rangers' Glenn Gawdin: Lands on waivers
Gawdin was put on waivers by the Rangers on Friday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Gawdin had 16 goals, 51 points and 73 PIM in 71 regular-season appearances with AHL Ontario in 2025-26. The 29-year-old is expected to spend most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Rangers' Anton Blidh: Hits waivers
Blidh was put on waivers by the Rangers on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Blidh had eight goals, 16 points and 56 PIM in 64 regular-season appearances with AHL Hartford in 2025-26. He also had an assist in four regular-season outings with the Rangers last campaign. The 31-year-old is expected to report to Hartford if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Rangers' Marc Del Gaizo: Waived Friday
Del Gaizo was put on waivers by the Rangers on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Del Gaizo had nine goals and 27 points in 63 regular-season appearances with AHL Laval in 2025-26. He's part of the Rangers' organization as a result of the two-year, two-way deal he inked over the summer. Del Gaizo is likely to spend the vast majority of that contract playing in the AHL.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Tending twine Friday
Shesterkin will defend the road crease during Friday's preseason game against the Islanders, Andrew Crane of the New York Post reports.
Shesterkin drew the home start against the Islanders during Tuesday's preseason matchup and turned aside 18 of 20 shots while playing the first two periods. He's slated to play the full game during Friday's rematch to close out the preseason as he prepares to serve as the Rangers' top netminder to begin the 2026-27 campaign.

Rangers' Gabe Perreault: Supplies two assists
Perreault logged two assists in Thursday's 4-3 preseason shootout win over the Devils.
Perreault is looking to secure a top-six job during training camp. The 21-year-old winger had 12 goals, 15 assists, 73 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 49 appearances in 2025-26. Perreault should see decent ice time, including a power-play role, in 2026-27. The Rangers will be motivated to see what they've got in younger players as the team works through a retooling phase, though that process could limit the extent of any breakout Perreault has in his second full NHL campaign.

Rangers' Will Cuylle: One of each Thursday
Cuylle scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 preseason shootout win over the Devils.
Cuylle looked to be bumped down into a checking-line role after the Rangers made a splash to get Pavel Dorofeyev from Vegas in June. The 24-year-old Cuylle can still bring some scoring, especially if he ends up on a power-play unit. He put up 20 goals and 38 points over 82 appearances in 2025-26 while adding 302 hits and 65 PIM, so he'll have plenty of fantasy appeal in banger leagues and modest upside elsewhere.
