New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin was carried off the ice during a game against the Washington Capitals after suffering a right leg injury. The incident occurred when Shesterkin attempted to return to his crease and his leg bent awkwardly. The Rangers have relied heavily on Shesterkin, who has been pivotal in their strong start to the season, posting a 1.75 goals-against average in his first four games. With Shesterkin's status uncertain, the team may lean on young goaltender Dylan Garand to fill the void, and there's speculation about possibly signing a veteran goalie in his absence.
