Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 18:38 · Archive

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin suffered a season-ending injury on 9 October, but the team believes it can continue winning.

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin suffered a season-ending injury during the second period of a game against Washington on 9 October. The Rangers lost that game and were subsequently blown out 7-1 by New Jersey on Thursday.

The Rangers had started the season strongly, winning six of their first nine games. Coach Mike Sullivan and captain J.T. Miller are confident the team can maintain that success despite losing their franchise goaltender. Sullivan said the Rangers are trying to 'build a certain identity in how we're going to play, a style of play' where every player contributes to what the team considers 'Rangers hockey'.

Dylan Garand has taken over in Shesterkin's absence. In the loss to New Jersey, Garand was pulled from the game after allowing four goals on 13 shots, with a turnover by Miller late in the first period contributing to the team's collapse.
