Igor Shesterkin is out for the remainder of the season after suffering a right knee injury in the Rangers' game against the Capitals on Friday night, the team announced Saturday. Per ESPN and Yahoo Sports, Shesterkin injured his right knee after an awkward fall into his own net. Video from Sportsnet showed the goaltender being helped off the ice without putting weight on his right leg during the second period.
The injury marks a significant blow to New York's goaltending depth as the season progresses. The Rangers have announced additional injury updates alongside Shesterkin's absence, though the details of those other moves were not specified in available reporting.
