Rangers coach David Quinn will wait until after practices and scrimmages during Phase 3 of the NHL Return to Play Plan to decide who will start in net during the Stanley Cup Qualifier round.

The Rangers will face the Carolina Hurricanes when play resumes in a best-of-five series to compete for the right to compete for the Stanley Cup. Igor Shesterkin, Henrik Lundqvist and Alexandar Georgiev will be in the mix for playing time. "You can make a case for all three guys," Quinn said on July 1. "There's a lot of reasons to take 'Shesty,' there's a lot of reasons to start Hank (Lundqvist), and there's reasons to start 'Georgie.' This is such an uncertain time that that will play out over the course of the two and a half weeks that we're going to have before we drop the puck." Shesterkin had earned the No. 1 goalie job for New York prior to the pause of the 2019-20 season.

According to Thomas Drance of The Athletic, Tyler Toffoli was spotted wearing a walking boot in the NHL bubble.

Toffoli isn't in the Canucks lineup tonight for Game 2 against Minnesota. The fact that he's wearing a walking boot could mean many things, but it's certainly not good news. He's still considered day-to-day for now. The Canucks will likely provide an update on his status after tonight's game.

I. Shesterkin - G

NYR

Igor Shesterkin allowed three goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Shesterkin missed the first two games of the series because he was unfit to play and made his NHL playoff debut in Game 3. He's not to blame for the Rangers being swept out of the Qualifying Round though. The 24-year-old has a bright future ahead of him and he's clearly the long-term starter in New York as of right now. It'll be interesting to see what the Rangers do about their current goalie situation this off-season. Shesterkin isn't going anywhere, but Henrik Lundqvist and Alexandar Georgiev could find themselves elsewhere.

J. Reimer - G

CAR

James Reimer turned aside 38 of 39 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the New York Rangers.

This victory allowed Carolina to sweep the Rangers in three games. The Hurricanes decided to roll out their backup goalie because they had a 2-0 lead in this series and they wanted to keep Reimer sharp. It was an interesting strategy, but it ended up paying off. Reimer made several key saves throughout the evening, and none was bigger than hiss diving stick stop on Filip Chytil while the game was still tied late in the second period. This is still Petr Mrazek's team, but the 'Canes have to be encouraged by Reimer's performance. They'll wait to find out who their opponent will be in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

C. Kreider - F

NYR

Chris Kreider found the back of the net in Tuesday's 4-1 elimination loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Kreider opened the scoring with a nice breakaway goal just 12 seconds into the second period, but that's the only puck the Rangers managed to get by Hurricanes goalie James Reimer. New York managed to fire several quality shots on Reimer, who turned in a solid effort in his first start of the series. The Rangers will have a lot of time to think about what went wrong in this Qualifying Round. Despite being swept by Carolina, their rebuild is still ahead of schedule. They now have a 12.5 percent chance of landing the first overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

Sebastian Aho scored two goals and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the New York Rangers.

The win allows Carolina to become the first team to win their Qualifying Round series. Aho assisted on Teuvo Teravainen's game-tying goal (1-1). He then added a spectacular insurance marker in the third period, as he undressed Rangers defender Tony DeAngelo with a beautiful deke. Aho also scored the empty-netter late in regulation. The Hurricanes forward had an unbelievable series. He posted three goals and eight points in this three-game sweep. Aho is clearly one of the great young centers in the NHL.

Mathieu Perreault left Game 3 against Calgary following a hard hit from Sam Bennett.

Bennett nailed Perreault into the boards during the second period and the Winnipeg forward was unable to return. Winnipeg is facing elimination with injury concerns for Perreault, Mark Scheifele, Patrik Laine and Mason Appleton going into Game 4 on Thursday.

Tyler Toffoli won't be in the lineup on Tuesday in Game 2 against Minnesota.

Coach Travis Green mentioned that some players were banged up following Sunday's loss and this probably applies to Toffoli. He reportedly has a lower-body injury and he wasn't on the ice for the pregame warmup Tuesday. Toffoli be replaced by Loui Eriksson in the lineup. Adam Gaudette will not play either and he may be dealing with something as well.

Alex Stalock will start Game 2 against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.

No surprise here, as Stalock recorded his first playoff win and shutout on Sunday night. The Wild play a structured game in front of their goaltender, so it won't be easy for Vancouver to put the puck in Minnesota's net.

Jacob Markstrom will be between the pipes for Game 2 against Minnesota on Tuesday night.

The Canucks need Markstrom to be at his best to make sure they don't go down 0-2 in this best-of-five series. He gave up two power play goals in Sunday's 3-0 loss.

Loui Eriksson will be in the lineup for Game 2 against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night.

Eriksson was scratched in the first game of the series, but he'll move to the second line for this one. He's skating on a line with Bo Horvat and Tanner Pearson. The 35-year-old had just six goals and seven assists in 49 games this season.

Jake Virtanen will be in the lineup for Game 2 against the Wild on Tuesday night.

Virtanen was a healthy scratch in Game 1, but he'll be back in tonight. Tyler Toffoli is out with an undisclosed injury while Adam Gaudette will also take a seat for Game 2. Virtanen will skate on the fourth line with Tyler Motte and Jay Beagle. The 23-year-old had 18 goals and 18 assists in 69 games this season.

Connor Hellebuyck allowed five goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Calgary Flames in Game 3.

Hellebuyck will likely win the Vezina Trophy this season, but he didn't turn in his best effort tonight. Calgary's go-ahead goal (2-1) by Mikael Backland happened because Hellebuyck and defenseman Neal Pionk turned the puck over behind their own net. Hellebuyck has allowed 10 goalss in three games against Calgary in this Qualifying Round. The Jets will now look to stay alive in this series on Thursday night. Winnipeg find themselves down 2-1 in this best-of-five series.
