Igor Shesterkin Out for Season With Severe Knee Injury

New York Rangers star goaltender Igor Shesterkin is out for the remainder of the 2026-27 season after suffering a severe lower-body knee injury during Friday's 3-1 loss to Washington. Shesterkin jammed his right skate into the goalpost during the second period, cutting short a dominant start where he posted a 3-1-0 record, 1.75 GAA, .926 save percentage, and scored his first NHL goal. Rookie Dylan Garand will take over as the Rangers' primary netminder.
