Rangers Shesterkin Out For The Season

Horrible news for the New York Rangers, who started the season red-hot, winning four of their first five games. Goalie Igor Shesterkin, who scored an empty-net goal earlier this month, suffered a lower-body injury in the second period of a 3-1 loss to the Washington Capitals on Friday, scrambling back to the crease.

Shesterkin had to be assisted from the ice and into the locker room. On Saturday morning, the Rangers revealed that the Vezina Trophy winner is out for the rest of the season.

Rookie Dylan Garand took over in the contest and will be the go-to guy for the Rangers in the near future, since backup Joonas Korpisalo is also out injured.
