Halak allowed four goals on 32 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames forced overtime with a pair of third-period goals, but Halak and the Rangers would hang on for the win thanks to Alexis Lafreniere's tally in the extra frame. It's the sixth consecutive victory for Halak as he improves to 7-6-1 with a .905 save percentage this season. The Rangers could afford to give Igor Shesterkin some additional rest down the stretch thanks to Halaks's steady presence in a backup role.

Halak kicked out 33 of 34 shots in a 4-1 win against Vegas on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Halak was beaten by Phil Kessel at 4:57 of the second frame, but it was otherwise an ideal outing for him. Halak improved to 6-6-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 13 games in 2022-23. He's won his last five games while allowing just nine goals over that span. Although the 37-year-old has been solid, the Rangers have continued to lean heavily on Igor Shesterkin and that's unlikely to change. In fact, Halak has played so infrequently that his current five-game winning streak started Dec. 17.

Halak (illness) will back up Igor Shesterkin for Tuesday's home game versus the Wild, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Halak missed Monday's practice with a stomach bug, but he's recovered enough to suit up. It's unlikely he'll be asked to play Tuesday unless Shesterkin sustains an injury.
