Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Making eighth straight start
Rotowire
Shesterkin will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Tuesday, Larry Brooks of The New York Post reports.
Shesterkin is set for an eighth straight start, but he has gone 3-4-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .919 save percentage in that span. The Kings have scored 14 goals over their last two games, so they'll be a formidable opponent, especially in their own barn. The Kings are 25-3-4 at home this season, so this is not a great matchup for Shesterkin.

Rangers' Sam Carrick: Not playing Tuesday
Rotowire
Carrick is awaiting the birth of his child and won't play Tuesday versus the Kings, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
It's unclear if Carrick will remain away from the team for the rest of their road trip, which also features games Friday in Anaheim and Saturday in San Jose. Nicolas Aube-Kubel or Brett Berard will play in place of Carrick for Tuesday's game.
Carrick (personal) was absent from Monday's practice, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
The Rangers recalled Nicolas Aube-Kubel from AHL Hartford on Monday, which suggests that Carrick could miss Tuesday's matchup versus the Kings. The 33-year-old Carrick has six goals, 18 points, 71 shots on net, 129 hits and 54 PIM through 71 outings this season.

Aube-Kubel was recalled from AHL Hartford on Monday.
Aube-Kubel was traded to the Rangers from the Sabres in early March, but he began his tenure with his new club in the minors. However, he'll join the Rangers for the first time and will presumably provide additional depth after Arthur Kaliyev (upper body) was ruled out for the season last week. Aube-Kubel made 19 appearances for Buffalo earlier this year and recorded a goal, an assist, 33 hits and 17 PIM while averaging 9:32 of ice time.

Shesterkin will guard the home net Saturday against Vancouver, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.
