Igor Shesterkin News

Shesterkin is coming off one of his worst outings of the season, allowing five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. It marked the first time that Shesterkin has allowed more than four goals in a game since October. That said, before his most recent blip, the 30-year-old Shesterkin remained a reliable presence for an otherwise disappointing and inconsistent Rangers team, posting a stellar 2.12 GAA and .929 SV% in his previous nine appearances (5-1-2). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as -128 home favourites against a reeling Toronto Maple Leafs team that suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils last night to extend their post-Olympic losing streak to five games (0-3-2).

After nearly two months without playing a game, due to a lower-body injury and the Olympic break, Shesterkin hasn't missed a beat, posting a solid 2.37 GAA and .912 SV% in two games (1-0-1). The Rangers have had a disappointing season, but Shesterkin has remained reliable, posting a 2.38 GAA and .917 SV% in his last 19 appearances since mid-December (11-4-3). Still, the Rangers enter Monday's contest as slight +107 home underdogs against a Columbus Blue Jackets team that has followed up a seven-game winning streak with two straight losses (0-1-1).

Shesterkin was sidelined for a month heading into the Olympic break due to a lower-body injury, but he will return to the crease when the Rangers return to action on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Rangers struggled without Shesterkin, going 2-11-1, and will be eager to have him back between the pipes. The 30-year-old goalie played his most consistent hockey of the season before his injury, winning four of six (4-1-1) while posting a 2.04 GAA and .934 SV%. The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as -132 home favourites against a Flyers team they defeated 6-3 in their previous meeting.

Shesterkin was forced to leave Monday's game after being involved in a collision with Utah's JJ Peterka in the first period. Shesterkin struggled to put weight on his left leg while being helped off the ice and was quickly ruled out for the game. He will miss, at minimum, one week before he is eligible to be activated off of Injured Reserve.

Shesterkin was sensational in the Winter Classic on Friday, saving 36 of 37 shots (.973 SV%) in a 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers. The 30-year-old goalie has a 2.47 GAA and .912 SV% in 33 games this season (17-12-4), and has been exceptionally good lately, posting a 2.20 GAA and .931 SV% in his last six (4-1-1).

The Rangers will of course turn to Shesterkin between the pipes when they travel to Florida on Friday for the 2026 Winter Classic. The former Vezina Trophy winner was unfortunate to be tagged with the loss in his last start, stopping 32 of the 35 shots he faced in a 3-2 overtime loss in Carolina on Monday. Shesterkin brings a 16-12-4 record and .910 SV% into the Winter Classic, where the Rangers enter action at +120 on the money line.

Shesterkin was solid in the Rangers' most recent game, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%), but their offensive woes continued, losing 2-0 to the New York Islanders for their league-worst eighth shutout loss of the season.

Tonight he will face the Islanders for the second time this season--he allowed four goals on 25 shots in a 5-0 loss in early-November.

Shesterkin has allowed three or more goals in five of his last six games, but has salvaged a serviceable 3-2-1 record with a pedestrian .893 SV%. The 29-year-old goalie boasts a 2.54 GAA and .908 SV% in 29 games this season (15-11-3). Despite his unspectacular stats, Shesterkin is recording a quality start in 66 percent of games, above the 62 percent he had in his career entering the season. The Rangers enter Tuesday's action as +138 road underdogs against a Capitals team that defeated them 1-0 in their only meeting this season.
