Veteran Spencer Martin is expected to fill in behind rookie Dylan Garand as the Rangers manage injuries to both of their top goalies.
- On October 10, the New York Rangers confirmed that star goaltender Igor Shesterkin will miss the remainder of the 2026-27 season following a severe lower-body injury suffered against the Washington Capitals.
- Shesterkin left the game against the Capitals on October 10 with an apparent lower-body injury, requiring assistance off the ice. Head coach Mike Sullivan stated, 'I am disappointed for him because he is such a fierce competitor.'
