Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin helped off ice after awkward fall against Capitals
Dylan Garand replaced Shesterkin, and the Capitals won 3-1 after the Rangers’ starter left with a right-leg injury.
- On Friday, New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin left the game against the Washington Capitals with an apparent leg injury after jamming his skate into the goalpost while attempting a save.
- The 30-year-old Russian entered the contest with a 1.75 goals-against average and is the Rangers' top goaltender, while the organization currently lacks backup Joonas Korpisalo due to injury.
- Backup Dylan Garand replaced Shesterkin, making 11 saves for the remainder of the contest after previously recording a shutout against the Detroit Red Wings in his only other start.
- Washington secured a 3-1 victory, with Timothy Liljegren, Boone Jenner, and Tom Wilson scoring for the Capitals, while Alexis Lafreniere provided the lone goal for New York.
- Facing the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers must determine their goaltending strategy with uncertainty surrounding Shesterkin's availability and Korpisalo still unavailable.
