Alexis Lafreniere - Dealing with illness Lafreniere will not practice Wednesday due to an illness, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lafreniere has generated two goals and four assists, including a pair of power-play points, in his last six outings. Once J.T. Miller (upper body) is cleared to return, the 24-year-old Lafreniere could be dropped from a top-six role, which will limit his chances of continuing to produce at a high level.

Brett Berard - Dropped to minors Berard was assigned to AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

Impact Berard hasn't earned a point in 12 NHL outings this season while posting 10 shots on goal, nine blocked shots and 15 hits. He has notched two goals and seven assists in 20 minor-league appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Spencer Martin - Summoned from AHL Martin was recalled from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

Impact The Rangers placed Igor Shesterkin (lower body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Martin has a 1-4-1 record with a 3.01 GAA and a .903 save percentage in six AHL appearances this season. He will serve as Jonathan Quick's backup during Shesterkin's absence.

Scott Morrow - Promoted from minors Morrow was recalled from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

Impact Morrow has generated a mere three points in 16 NHL games for the Rangers this year, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting him to produce much in the way of offense even if he does get into the lineup. With Adam Fox (lower body) placed on long-term injured reserve, Morrow may be in New York for the long haul.

Adam Fox - Going back on LTIR Fox (lower body) will be placed on long-term injured reserve, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

Impact Fox had one goal, one assist, five shots on net and four blocked shots in three games after missing 14 contests because of an upper-body injury. He won't be eligible to return until at least Jan. 31 against Pittsburgh, but an exact timeline for his recovery is unclear. He has registered four goals, 28 points, 56 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 15 hits in 30 appearances this season.

Igor Shesterkin - Placed on injured reserve Shesterkin (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact Shesterkin's lower-body injury is still being evaluated by the club, but the veteran backstop will miss at least the next three games at minimum. Through the first 34 outings of the year, the Russian netminder is sporting a 17-12-4 record, 2.45 GAA and one shutout. With Shesterkin on the shelf, Jonathan Quick will have to hold down the netminding duties while Spencer Martin or Dylan Garand could be called up from the minors to serve as the No. 2 option.
