Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin helped off ice after awkward fall against Capitals
Backup Dylan Garand replaced Shesterkin after the Rangers’ No. 1 goalie stopped 13 of 14 shots and left tied 1-1.
- On Friday, New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin jammed his right skate into the goalpost against the Washington Capitals during the second period, sustaining a lower-body injury that forced his exit from the game.
- The Rangers are already managing a goaltending shortage with backup Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve, forcing the team to rely on Dylan Garand, a 24-year-old recall from the American Hockey League, to fill the critical void.
- Shesterkin entered Friday's contest with a 3-1 record and 1.76 goals-against average, having stopped 13 of 14 shots before his departure left the game tied at 1-1.
- New York lost 3-1 as backup Garand recorded 11 saves on 12 shots, snapping the Rangers' four-game winning streak; coach Mike Sullivan said the injury was "concerning, obviously."
- The Rangers host the Vancouver Canucks at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, forcing the coaching staff to decide whether to trust Garand or pursue emergency goaltending reinforcements amid uncertainty over Shesterkin's recovery timeline.
