Rangers' Ryder Korczak: Heads to AHL
Korczak (upper body) was assigned to AHL Hartford on Saturday.
Korczak had been dealing with an injury during training camp, but his move to the minors suggests a return to action should be near. The 22-year-old forward earned nine goals and 20 points in 67 games with AHL Hartford during the 2023-24 regular season. Korczak will probably spend most, if not all, of this campaign in the minors. He hasn't received the chance to make his NHL debut yet.

Rangers' Brennan Othmann: Sent to AHL Hartford
Othmann was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Saturday.
Othmann played in three regular-season games with the Rangers in 2023-24, including his NHL debut, and he didn't earn a point. The 16th overall pick in 2021, Othmann had 21 goals and 28 assists in 67 regular-season games with AHL Hartford in 2023-24. He should get some time in the NHL this year, as the Rangers regard him highly.

Rangers' Connor Mackey: Placed on waivers
Mackey hit the waiver wire Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Mackey played only one game for the Rangers in 2023-24, picking up a fighting major and three blocked shots. The 28-year-old spent most of the 2023-24 campaign at AHL Hartford, where he had two goals and nine points in 44 regular-season contests.

Rangers' Adam Fox: Involved in both goals Friday
Fox bagged a goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders.
Fox netted the Rangers' second goal in the first period, though he was fortunate to score, as Semyon Varlamov's save bounced off an Islanders teammate before going into the net. The star defenseman should play a massive role at both ends of the ice for the Rangers in 2024-25 after notching a career-high 73 points (17 goals, 56 assists) across 72 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Sets up two goals Friday
Miller was credited with two assists in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders. He also took two shots and blocked two shots.
Miller was heavily involved on offense early on and had a hand in the team's two goals, scored by Jonny Brodzinski and Adam Fox, but he couldn't escape New York's defensive struggles following the strong start. Miller is penciled as a top-unit defender for the 2024-25 season after notching 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists) in 80 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Subpar showing Friday
Shesterkin gave up five goals on 38 shots in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders.
Shesterkin gave up three even-strength goals and two power-play tallies, and even though the defense didn't do him any favors, there's no question he struggled badly throughout the contest. Preseason stats shouldn't matter much, however, and the goal was all about allowing Shesterkin to get enough ice time to be ready for Opening Night against the Penguins on Wednesday.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Bags goal in loss to Isles
Brodzinski scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders.
Brodzinski opened the scoring for the Rangers less than seven minutes into the first period with a wrister from long range that bounced off Semyon Varlamov's back before going in. Brodzinski recorded six goals and 19 points in 57 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, and he figures to center one of the Rangers' bottom-six lines in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: In goal Friday
Shesterkin will protect the road goal in Friday's preseason game versus the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Shesterkin will get his third and final preseason appearance. He allowed two goals on 18 shots versus the Devils' AHL roster in a start Tuesday, playing two periods in that game. He'll likely go the distance Friday, setting him up to be at full speed for Opening Night in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

Rangers' Artemi Panarin: Won't play Friday
Panarin (lower body) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Islanders.
Panarin exited Tuesday's preseason game against the Devils due to a lower-body injury, and he didn't practice Thursday. He's considered day-to-day for now, and it's unclear whether his ailment will impact his availability for Opening Night against the Penguins on Wednesday. Panarin had a career-best season last year, tallying 49 goals and 120 points while averaging 20:07 of ice time.

Rangers' Chad Ruhwedel: Unavailable Friday
Ruhwedel will miss Friday's preseason game against the Islanders.
Ruhwedel had a goal, four points, 90 hits and 44 blocks in 52 regular-season games between Pittsburgh and the Rangers in 2023-24. The 34-year-old defenseman might serve on the third pairing if he's healthy in time for the Rangers' Opening Night against the Penguins on Wednesday.

Rangers' Chad Ruhwedel: Practicing in non-contact sweater
Ruhwedel (undisclosed) practiced in a red non-contact sweater Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Ruhwedel went into the boards hard during Tuesday's preseason win over the Devils, and while it's not yet clear what injury he's dealing with, he was limited during Thursday's practice session. Whether his ailment will hinder his availability for Friday's preseason finale against the Islanders remains to be seen.

Rangers' Artemi Panarin: Missing from practice Thursday
Panarin (lower body) was not on the ice Thursday and is considered day-to-day, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Panarin still has time to get back to 100 percent before the season opener against the Penguins on Oct. 9. The veteran winger is coming off a career year in which he set personal bests in goals (49), points (120) and power-play points (44). While this was the first time Panarin reached the 40-goal threshold, he should be capable of doing so again in 2024-25.

Rangers' Benoit-Olivier Groulx: Hits waivers Wednesday
Groulx was waived by the Rangers on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Groulx signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Rangers in early July, but he'll likely have to settle for a role in the AHL to begin the regular season. The 24-year-old made 45 regular-season appearances with the Ducks last year and logged two assists, 32 shots and 101 hits while averaging 12:11 of ice time.

Rangers' Matt Rempe: Lays lumber in preseason win
Rempe recorded a game-hit seven hits while adding two PIM, a blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 preseason win over the Devils.
The 22-year-old became an instant fan favorite last season as a rookie due to his physical play, racking up 71 PIM and 50 hits in only 17 games, and Rempe doesn't look like he intends to go easy on the opposition in 2024-25. His fourth-line role and lack of offensive upside keep him off the fantasy radar in most formats, but in leagues where hits and PIM have value, Rempe can be very useful.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Beaten twice in preseason action
Shesterkin stopped 16 of 18 shots over two periods in Tuesday's 5-4 preseason win over the Devils.
Both goals against Shesterkin came on juicy rebounds, giving him something to work on ahead of the Rangers' regular-season opener in Pittsburgh on Oct. 9. The 28-year-old netminder has won at least 36 games in three straight seasons, but he might need better defensive play in front of him to reverse the downward trend in his ratios -- he's gone from an elite 2.07 GAA and .935 save percentage in 2021-22 to merely good marks of 2.58 and .912 last season.

Rangers' Artemi Panarin: Exits contest
Panarin (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Devils.
Panarin has been battling a lower-body injury throughout camp, and it appears he has aggravated it. He should be considered doubtful to play in the preseason finale Friday against the Islanders.

Rangers' Artemi Panarin: Good to go Tuesday
Panarin (lower body) will play in Tuesday's exhibition contest against New Jersey.
Panarin had been nursing a minor injury since leaving a preseason game against the Islanders on Sept. 24. He accumulated 49 goals and 120 points in 82 outings during the 2023-24 regular season. Panarin will occupy a top-six role and see action on the first power-play unit in the 2024-25 campaign.

Rangers' Casey Fitzgerald: Lands on waivers
Fitzgerald was put on waivers Tuesday, according to PuckPedia.
Fitzgerald compiled four goals and 21 points in 69 contests for AHL Hartford during the 2023-24 regular season. The 27-year-old blueliner will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign at the minor-league level.

Scanlin provided eight goals and eight assists in 64 regular-season contests for AHL Hartford in 2023-24. He also made his NHL debut against Philadelphia on March 26, earning one hit in 10:46 of ice time. The 25-year-old defender will probably spend most of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.
