  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Set to start Tuesday

    Shesterkin is expected to start at home against Carolina in Game 2 on Tuesday, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

    Shesterkin stopped 22 of 25 shots en route to a 4-3 victory over the Hurricanes in Game 1 on Sunday. He's opened the playoffs with five straight victories while allowing just 10 goals on 126 shots (.921 save percentage). However, the Hurricanes ranked eighth offensively in the regular season with 3.38 goals per contest, so they're likely to continue to be a challenging adversary for Shesterkin.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Grabs Game 1 win

    Shesterkin stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1 of the second round.

He's won seven starts in a row, and this was just the second time in that span he's given up more than two goals. The 28-year-old netminder has allowed 10 goals over five playoff outings and should have no trouble maintaining his place between the pipes in the second round.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Slated to face Capitals

    Shesterkin is slated to start on the road against Washington in Game 3 on Friday, according to Seth Orlemann of USA Today.

    Shesterkin won the first two contests of the series while stopping 42 of 46 shots (.913 save percentage). The Capitals ranked 28th offensively with just 2.63 goals per game in the regular season, so it's not surprising that they haven't given Shesterkin much trouble in the first round. That said, the series moving to Washington might help the Capitals, who were 22-12-7 at home compared to 18-19-4 on the road during the 2023-24 campaign.
