Looks like Igor Shesterkin is all recovered from his broken rib, and will get the start on Saturday.
Quick recovery: Shesterkin likely to start vs NJD Saturday. Fractured a rib less than two weeks ago. #NYR

That’s less than two weeks following the car accident. I’ve never broken a rib before, I guess they heal faster?
As for the lines, the only lineup change is a swap of Julien Gauthier and Kaapo Kakko.
We've got a slight tweak on the #NYR third and fourth lines today…
Di Giuseppe – Mika – Buch
Panarin – Strome – Fast
Howden – Chytil – Gauthier
Lemieux – McKegg – Kakko

Kakko’s ice time had been dwindling for a while, and this was bound to happen. My only quip is with Brett Howden still being on the third line. He’s been worse.
