US EditionRangers' Adam Fox Going on Long-Term Injured Reserve and Igor Shesterkin Regular IR, AP Source Says
Adam Fox will miss at least 10 games on long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury while Igor Shesterkin is out at least three games after a leg injury.
- On Tuesday, the New York Rangers placed goaltender Igor Shesterkin on injured reserve and defenseman Adam Fox on long-term injured reserve after the 3-2 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth, a person familiar with the situation said.
- Having just returned in late December after missing a month with an upper-body injury, Adam Fox played all regulation but did not skate a shift in overtime vs. Utah, making the injury timing unclear.
- Shesterkin exited after a noncontact leg injury when his left leg bent awkwardly avoiding Utah's JJ Peterka, and he has played 34 games with a 2.52 GAA and.912 save percentage this season.
- The Rangers will now rely on backup Jonathan Quick, who has a 3-6-2 record and 2.11 GAA this season as the team holds 46 points through 44 games, while James Dolan expressed confidence in Mike Sullivan and Chris Drury.
- Fox must miss 10 games and 24 days with LTIR, not eligible until at least Jan 31 against Pittsburgh, while Shesterkin's IR placement leaves him out at least three games, possibly eligible Jan. 14 against Ottawa.
