Tending twine Friday Shesterkin will be between the home pipes versus Toronto on Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Impact Shesterkin has won his last two starts, allowing only four goals on 77 shots (.948 save percentage) in road victories over the Islanders and Pittsburgh. It has been a tough campaign for the 29-year-old, who is 20-20-2 with three shutouts, a 2.93 GAA and a .906 save percentage, his worst season in the six years he has been the Rangers goaltender. Shesterkin will face the Maple Leafs who have won three straight games on the road. Toronto is generating 3.19 goals per game, 12th in the NHL this season.

Shines in win over Isles Shesterkin stopped 36 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Shesterkin was outstanding Tuesday and recorded a second consecutive win after topping the Penguins on Sunday. In three appearances since the league resumed following the Four Nations break, Shesterkin has gone 2-1-0 with a 3.90 GAA and a .903 save percentage. However, those numbers are inflated following the 8-2 loss to the Sabres on Feb. 22, in which he allowed five goals in only 16 shots. This season, the star netminder has posted a 20-20-2 record with a 2.93 GAA and a .906 save percentage.

Set to start Tuesday Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports, indicating he will defend the road net against the Islanders on Tuesday...
Impact Shesterkin is coming off a 37-save performance in Sunday's 5-3 win over Pittsburgh. He has a 19-20-2 record with three shutouts, a 2.98 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 41 appearances this season. The Islanders rank 26th in the league with 2.73 goals per game in 2024-25.
FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Outstanding performance Sunday Shesterkin turned aside 36 of 39 shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.
Impact Shesterkin rebounded in a big way on the road Sunday after being pulled in the first period of Saturday's loss to the Sabres. The Russian netminder stood on his head in the middle frame, stopping all 19 shots he faced. Joel Blomqvist struggled in the opposing crease -- the Rangers managed to find the back of the net five times despite having nine shots on goal through two periods and 16 overall. Shesterkin is sporting a 19-20-2 record, .903 save percentage and 2.98 GAA through 41 appearances this season. The 29-year-old will likely be between the road pipes against the Islanders on Tuesday.

Looking to bounce back Sunday Shesterkin will guard the road net Sunday against the Penguins, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Impact Shesterkin got the start Saturday against Buffalo but was pulled in the first period after allowing five goals on 16 shots. The 29-year-old netminder will look to bounce back against a Pittsburgh team that's averaging 2.86 goals per game. Overall, Shesterkin is 18-20-2 with a .903 save percentage and 2.98 GAA this season.
FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Gets hook in return to action Shesterkin gave up five goals on 16 shots before being replaced by Jonathan Quick late in the first period of Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Sabres.
Impact While Shesterkin didn't do himself any favors by passing up a couple opportunities to freeze pucks, only for Buffalo to score immediately afterward, for the most part his awful line was the result of truly terrible play by his defense. Shesterkin had missed the Rangers' last game before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off due to an upper-body injury, but he at least looked healthy in his return. With Quick needed for heavy relief work Saturday, it's not clear which netminder will be between the pipes for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Returns to crease Saturday Shesterkin (upper body) will guard the road goal versus Buffalo on Saturday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.
Impact Shesterkin sat out the Rangers' 4-3 win over Columbus on Feb. 8, but the break for 4 Nations Face-Off gave him plenty of time to recover. He has posted a record of 18-19-2 with three shutouts, a 2.87 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 39 appearances this season. Buffalo ranks 11th in the league with 3.13 goals per game in 2024-25.
FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Practicing Thursday Shesterkin (upper body) practiced for the second day in a row Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Impact Shesterkin was injured Feb. 7 against the Penguins and was expected to be out of action for 1-2 weeks. He appears to be in line to start Saturday against the Sabres, though the Rangers could keep him out another game and play him Sunday in Pittsburgh. Shesterkin is 18-19-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 39 appearances in 2024-25.
FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE
Making progress in recovery Shesterkin (upper body) has been skating on his own but is not expected to participate in practice Tuesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.
Impact Shesterkin's injury carried a recovery timeline of 1-2 weeks, so the netminder shouldn't be expected to be sidelined for much longer as long as he hasn't suffered any setbacks. If Shesterkin isn't ready for the Rangers' back-to-back set against the Sabres on Saturday and Penguins on Sunday, Dylan Garand, who was recalled Tuesday, could split those games with Jonathan Quick.

FEBRUARY 8 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM
Concedes three goals Shesterkin stopped 23 of the 26 shots he saw in Friday's 3-2 home loss to the Penguins.
Impact All three goals Shesterkin conceded were in the game's second period. Overall, the 29-year-old goaltender has a 18-19-2 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.87 GAA. After having a seven-game unbeaten streak in January, Shesterkin has run into trouble with a 1-4-0 record in his last five appearances. During this stretch, he has a 3.84 GGA and a .835 save percentage. As the Rangers push towards a playoff spot, their top goaltender should continue to see plenty of volume in the crease. However, Shesterkin may lose some starts to Jonathan Quick if his quality of play doesn't improve soon.
FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with upper-body injury Shesterkin is dealing with an upper-body injury that carries a recovery timetable of 1-2 weeks, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
Impact Shesterkin started Friday's game against the Penguins and was charged with the loss while allowing three goals on 26 shots (.885 save percentage). While he'll be dealing with his injury over the next week or two, he may not be forced to miss game action for the Rangers due to the league's break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Dylan Garand was recalled by New York to serve as Jonathan Quick's backup on the road against the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Expected to start Friday Shesterkin was the first netminder off the ice at morning skate, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports, and is slated to patrol the home crease versus Pittsburgh on Friday.
Impact Shesterkin snapped a three-game losing streak Wednesday, stopping 15 shots in a 3-2 victory over Boston. Shesterkin is 18-18-2 with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage. He has been inconsistent this season and thus far it's his worst year in the NHL during his six-season career. The Penguins are generating 2.87 goals per game, 17th in the NHL this season.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Defeats Bruins Shesterkin stopped 15 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.
Impact Shesterkin got revenge for his previous outing, when he surrendered five goals on 24 shots against the Bruins on Saturday. He wasn't tested very much Wednesday, and aside from a 16-second span in the middle frame in which he gave up both goals, he got the job done to end a three-game losing streak. Shesterkin is up to 18-18-2 with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 38 starts. The Rangers have a back-to-back left before the 4 Nations Face-Off break, so expected Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick to split the starts between Friday's home game versus the Penguins and Saturday's road contest in Columbus.
