It's October 10th. Okay, tough news for the Rangers today. Goaltender Igor Shesterkin is out for the season after injuring his right knee in a game against the Capitals. This is a big loss for the team. Shesterkin got hurt when he fell awkwardly into his own net after trying to challenge a shooter. He didn't put any weight on his leg as his teammates helped him off the ice. That's just rough to see, especially for a player of his caliber.
Rangers captain JT. Miller expressed how vital Shesterkin is to the squad, saying it stinks to lose a pillar like him.
Coach Mike Sullivan echoed that sentiment, noting Shesterkin is an elite player, definitely a tough break for both the team and the fans. Backup goalie Dylan Garand stepped in after Shesterkin left the ice. He's still relatively new to the NHL, but he did have a decent outing, stopping 11 of 12 shots. It's a chance for him to step up, but that pressure is real. Adding to the challenge, veteran goalie Joonas Korpisalo is also on injured reserve. Without those two in the net, the Rangers will need to rally together.
How they respond to this loss will show a lot about their resilience as a team. I'm Corey with the story, and you've been listening to New York Rangers News Today.
