New York Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin will not play again this season after suffering an injury during Friday's loss to Washington, according to reports from ESPN and Fox News. While ESPN reported that the 30-year-old injured his right knee, Fox News described the condition as a lower-body issue.
Fox News reported that the mishap occurred when Shesterkin's right skate collided with the goal post as he slid across his crease. Unable to support his own weight on that leg, he required help from teammates to exit the playing surface, leaving Dylan Garand to take over the crease in what became a 3-1 Washington victory.
The loss compounds existing depth troubles in net for New York. According to Fox News, backup Joonas Korpisalo is anticipated to remain out for roughly another month, forcing the club to lean heavily on Garand after Shesterkin's strong start to the campaign was abruptly halted.
