Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: First goalie off Thursday
Igor 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.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Covered by contrails
Igor Shesterkin made 27 saves in a 6-3 loss to the Jets on Tuesday. He allowed five goals.Heading into the contest, Shesterkin was ahead of opposing goalie Connor Hellebuyck in high-danger saves (73 vs. 70) and also led him in midrange save percentage (.941 vs. .899), but the Russian was far behind in traditional counting stats like GAA (2.85 vs. 1.92) and save percentage (.913 vs. .934). Shesterkin played a solid game against the Jets, but his teammates coughed up the puck a couple of times and that was all the Jets needed to pounce. Unfortunately, he ends up in the record books as the goalie in net when the Jets became the fastest team to 15 wins in NHL history (16 games).
