Arthur Kaliyev will make his Rangers and season debut against the Devils. New York claimed Kaliyev off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. The forward was a healthy scratch in the Rangers 5-4 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Kaliyev has 71 points (35 goals, 36 assists) in 188 NHL games, all with the Kings.

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin will start Thursday's game against the visiting New Jersey Devils, coach Peter Laviolette announced. Shesterkin has missed the team's last four games due to an upper-body injury.

Igor Shesterkin, who hasn’t played this month due to an upper-body injury, is set to return in net for the Rangers Thursday night against Las Vegas, head coach Peter Laviolette said at Madison Square Garden.

The New York Rangers have granted defenseman Zac Jones permission to seek a trade, as reported by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman in his latest "32 Thoughts" column .

The Rangers reportedly tried to land J.T. Miller in a trade with the Canucks, but saw a one-for-one offer rebuffed.

The Canucks rejected a trade that would have sent J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers in exchange for fellow forward Mika Zibanejad earlier this season, The Athletic’s Josh Yohe reported on Tuesday.

The Devils face the Rangers for the third time this season on Thursday night, and Matt Rempe could return to the lineup.

The New York Rangers recalled their six-foot-eight yard-dog forward Matt Rempe on Tuesday from the AHL Hartford Wolfpack after having served an eight-game suspension. He is officially eligible to return against the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden on Thursday.

Matt Rempe has been in this situation before. Just over 10 months ago, back in March, the 6-foot-8 ½ forward served a suspension, acknowledged he made a mistake with a hit — a high elbow flung toward the Devils’ Jonas Siegenthaler — and stressed the need to grow from it.
