Igor Shesterkin in goal vs. Buffalo.
Along with that Peter Laviolette has also commented on if Jones will get to play of the Rangers PP2 tonight:
Will Zac Jones play the point on PP2 tomorrow?
Lavi: "We're considering it. I do feel like that's Zac's type of game. I think he's a puck-moving, heads-up defenseman. When the puck is on his stick, he can make things happen."
Overall it should be a very interesting matchup, and hopefully the New York Rangers can pull off another victory and better their current 8-2-1 record.
