Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Light workload in overtime win
Shesterkin stopped 11 of 13 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.
The Rangers played a structured game, giving the Kraken little room to generate. Shesterkin wasn't at his best, but he was good enough to pick up his second consecutive win while facing a season-low workload. The 29-year-old improved to 4-4-2 with a 2.28 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 10 starts. The Rangers won three of four games on their road trip, but still generated just nine goals in that span. They'll need to provide Shesterkin more consistent support going forward, though that could be tough to do in a home matchup against the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Set to start Saturday
Shesterkin is expected to start on the road against Seattle on Saturday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.
Shesterkin has a 3-4-2 record, 2.32 GAA and .916 save percentage in nine appearances this season. While his overall GAA and save percentage are favorable, the 29-year-old goaltender is working through a rough patch in which he's surrendered 14 goals on 90 shots (.844 save percentage) across his past three starts. Seattle is 5-2-3 and tied for 23rd in goals per game with 2.80 this year.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Gets support in overtime win
Shesterkin stopped 33 of 36 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
The Oilers led 3-1 in the middle of the second period, but the Rangers tied it up in the third and won on a J.T. Miller goal in overtime. Getting some support had to look like an oasis in a desert for Shesterkin, who has received one goal or less of help from his teammates in five of his nine outings. He ended an 0-3-2 skid with this win, improving to 3-4-2 with a 2.32 GAA and a .916 save percentage this season. The Rangers wrap up their road trip in Seattle on Saturday. Shesterkin is 4-0-1 with a 2.18 GAA and a .934 save percentage in five career games against the Kraken.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Gets starting nod Thursday
Shesterkin will tend the visiting twine in Edmonton on Thursday, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.
Shesterkin has played well this season despite his 2-4-2 record. The 29-year-old Russian netminder has a 2.25 GAA and a .916 save percentage across eight starts this season. The Oilers are 18th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.18 goals per game.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Let down by teammates again
Shesterkin allowed five goals on 30 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Flames.
Shesterkin was let down by his teammates again, with odd bounces and screens leading to three goals and a shorthanded rush by the Flames accounting for another one. Overall, the Rangers' defensive play remains unorganized, and the offense hasn't done enough to overcome those lapses yet. It's starting to wear on Shesterkin's numbers -- he's allowed 11 goals on 54 shots over his last two outings to firmly non-playoff teams in the Sharks and the Flames. He's at a 2-4-2 record on the year but still has a strong 2.25 GAA and .916 save percentage through eight starts. The Rangers' next game is in Vancouver on Tuesday.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Tending twine Sunday
Shesterkin will start Sunday's road game against Calgary, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Shesterkin has been in the midst of a cold spell, going 0-2-2 with a 2.75 GAA and .890 save percentage over his last four appearances. However, he'll draw a third consecutive start Sunday and will have a favorable matchup against the Flames, who are averaging a league-worst 1.67 goals per game to begin the season.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Hung out to dry Thursday
Shesterkin made 18 saves in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks.
The Rangers' defense was simply awful, consistently struggling to clear the zone or put a body on San Jose skaters camped out in front of the crease, and Shesterkin had little chance at any of the pucks that got past him. It was the first time this season the 29-year-old netminder had given up more than two goals in a start, and even after Thursday's disaster, he still carries a 1.86 GAA and a .930 save percentage in seven outings -- numbers that are badly out of sync with his 2-3-2 record.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: In goal against Sharks
Shesterkin will protect the home goal versus the Sharks on Thursday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Shesterkin will be hoping for any goal support from his teammates, who have scored just once in four home games so far. The 29-year-old has a 2-3-1 record, but his 1.17 GAA and .957 save percentage are more indicative of the quality of his play to begin 2025-26.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Another tough home loss
Shesterkin stopped 29 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Wild, with Minnesota's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Rangers' offensive woes continued Monday, as Artemi Panarin scored in the first minute of the first period before New York's shooters went cold once again, giving Shesterkin little margin for error. The star netminder has yet to allow more than two goals in a start this season, posting a dazzling 1.17 GAA and .957 save percentage in six outings, but he has just a 2-3-1 record to show for it.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Set to face Wild
Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Colin Stephenson of Newsday, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Minnesota on Monday.
Shesterkin is coming off a 22-save effort in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to Toronto. Despite owning a 2-2-1 record to begin the 2025-26 campaign, the 29-year-old netminder has stopped 125 of the 130 shots he has faced through five starts. Minnesota is tied for 22nd in the league with 2.67 goals per game this season.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Gets minimal help from teammates
Shesterkin made 22 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to Toronto on Thursday.
Shesterkin was brilliant, but the Rangers struggled offensively. The team finally scored a goal in the third period, and it was the club's first in 170:39. The Rangers had been shut out in each of their prior two games. Shesterkin is one of the NHL's best, but not even the best can fix what ails this team.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Starting in Toronto
Shesterkin will protect the road goal versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Shesterkin is 2-2-0 with just three goals allowed on 106 shots to begin the season. That speaks to some bad luck -- both losses have come with the Rangers getting shut out at home. The 29-year-old has won both of his road games and will look to stay hot against the Maple Leafs, who have 17 goals through four contests.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Gets no help Tuesday
Shesterkin stopped 20 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Oilers. Edmonton's final goal was scored into an empty net.
The star netminder has been excellent to begin the season, giving up just three goals on 106 shots over four starts. Shesterkin has just a 2-2-0 record to show for it, however, as the Rangers' offense remains stuck in the mud -- New York is averaging just 2.00 goals per game so far, tied for the third-worst mark in the NHL. After a bumpy 2024-25 campaign that saw him post a career-worst 2.86 GAA and .905 save percentage, Shesterkin seems intent on re-inserting himself into the Vezina Trophy conversation.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Gets starting nod Tuesday
Shesterkin will be between the pipes at home versus Edmonton on Tuesday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.
Shesterkin is off to a strong start to the 2025-26 campaign, going 2-1-0 with a 0.67 GAA, one shutout and a .976 save percentage through three games. After missing the 30-win mark last year, the 29-year-old Russian looks poised to get back over that threshold this time around -- though he'll face a significantly better team in the Oilers on Tuesday than the Penguins and Sabres.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Grabs second straight win
Shesterkin made 18 saves in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.
Shesterkin cruised to his second consecutive win, as his lone blemish was a Benjamin Kindel goal in the second period. The 29-year-old Shesterkin has been exceptional through three appearances with a 2-1-0 record, a 0.67 GAA and a .976 save percentage. He has allowed just two goals this year and added a shutout to his campaign in the Rangers' second game. Shesterkin is on pace to improve upon a career-worst season with 29 losses, a 2.86 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 61 appearances a year ago. His fantasy value is up there with the best netminders in the league, especially due to the workhorse role he is expected to serve in while being backed up by the 39-year-old Jonathan Quick, who will likely make his season debut Sunday against Washington.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: First off ice Saturday
Shesterkin was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post, and is slated to patrol the visiting crease in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Shesterkin has been sensational this season, allowing only one goal on 65 shots. He shut out the Sabres on Thursday, making 37 saves. The Penguins are off to a great start, beating Shesterkin and the Rangers on Opening Night and knocking off the Islanders on Thursday by a 4-3 score.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Elite start to season continues
Shesterkin made 37 saves in a 4-0 victory over Buffalo on Thursday.
It was his 22nd NHL shutout. Shesterkin bailed his team out several times on the night. He's looked superstar sharp in his first two games this season, allowing just one goal on 65 shots. Shesterkin is looking to bounce back from a somewhat off 2024-25 where he registered the worst statistical season of his career. He went 27-29-5 with a 2.86 GAA and .905 save percentage. So far, so good.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Starting again Thursday
Shesterkin will defend the road crease against the Sabres on Thursday, Jim Cerny of NHL.com reports.
Shesterkin drew the Opening Night start against the Penguins on Tuesday, and he turned aside 27 of 28 shots but didn't get any offensive help from the Rangers in the loss. He'll have another opportunity to pick up his first win of the 2025-26 campaign during Thursday's road matchup.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Allows just one goal in loss
Shesterkin stopped 27 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Penguins. The other two goals were empty-netters late in the third period.
Shesterkin was beaten late in the first half when Justin Brazeau found the twine with a backhand. The star netminder was able to keep the Rangers in the game and delivered a solid performance overall, but New York failed to support him offensively. The Rangers are likely to lean heavily on Shesterkin this year, so perhaps he'll quickly get another chance to earn his first win of the season by getting the start Thursday in Buffalo.
