Shesterkin stopped 16 of 18 shots over two periods in Tuesday's 5-4 preseason win over the Devils.
Both goals against Shesterkin came on juicy rebounds, giving him something to work on ahead of the Rangers' regular-season opener in Pittsburgh on Oct. 9. The 28-year-old netminder has won at least 36 games in three straight seasons, but he might need better defensive play in front of him to reverse the downward trend in his ratios -- he's gone from an elite 2.07 GAA and .935 save percentage in 2021-22 to merely good marks of 2.58 and .912 last season.
