• Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Under siege early in loss

  22H ago • By RotoWire

  Shesterkin stopped 46 of 49 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames. Shesterkin faced a ton of pressure over the first half of the game. The Rangers were able to dig out of a 2-0 hole, but Connor Zary's third-period tally tipped the scales in favor of the Flames. The 46 saves were a season high for Shesterkin, who is now 1-2-0 with eight goals allowed over three games in which he's seen 40 or more shots. Overall, the 28-year-old is 8-5-1 with a 2.82 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 14 starts. The Rangers wrap up their current road trip in Edmonton on Saturday.

• Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: First goalie off Thursday

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Shesterkin was the first goalie to exit the ice Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus Calgary. Shesterkin hasn't exactly been in stellar form of late, going 2-2-0 in his last four outings, including a pair of contests in which he gave up five goals apiece. Still, the 28-year-old backstop is the unquestioned No. 1 option in the Big Apple. Having said that, the fact that veteran Jonathan Quick is riding back-to-back shutouts could see him steal a few starts away from Shesterkin.

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Shesterkin allowed three goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks. Shesterkin gave up two goals in the first period and another in the second, but he shut the door in the third to get his fourth win in his last six outings. It wasn't a particularly strong start -- Shesterkin has given up three or more goals in four of his last seven appearances. He's now 8-4-1 with a 2.80 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 13 starts this season. Shesterkin's uneven performances could allow for a slightly larger workload for Jonathan Quick in the near term.

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Shesterkin made 25 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks. The 28-year-old had little chance on either goal, as the first came on a deflected shot that wobbled through heavy traffic over Shesterkin's shoulder, and the second was scored during a 6-on-4 power play in the final minute of the game after San Jose had pulled its netminder. Shesterkin appeared to be back on track after conceding 10 goals over his prior two starts, and on the season he's 7-4-1 with a 2.78 GAA and .914 save percentage.
