Starting third straight Shesterkin will guard the road goal during Saturday's matchup with the Sabres.
Impact Shesterkin has been sharp recently, picking up back-to-back wins over the Capitals and Sabres while posting an admirable 1.93 GAA and .927 save percentage. He'll attempt to secure his 10th victory of the season in a road matchup with a struggling Buffalo squad that's gone 1-7-2 in its last 10 contests.

Stays hot in March Shesterkin kicked out 21 of 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Buffalo.
Impact It was the fifth win in six outings since the start of the month for Shesterkin, who has put together a rock-solid .925 save percentage during that stretch. He wasn't particularly tested by the Sabres, who mustered just 11 shots on goal after the first period. The 25-year-old Shesterkin improved to 9-8-1 on the year with a 2.29 GAA and .924 save percentage.

Tabbed for Thursday's start Shesterkin will guard the road goal in Thursday's game versus the Sabres, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
Impact Shesterkin has been excellent since returning from a groin injury, generating a .938 save percentage and a 2.36 GAA across three appearances. This is certainly a favorable matchup, as the Sabres carry a 17-game losing streak into their matchup against the Flyers on Wednesday.
MARCH 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Facing Capitals Shesterkin will guard the home goal during Tuesday's matchup with Washington, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
Impact Shesterkin has been sharp recently, maintaining an impressive .938 save percentage through his last two starts. The 25-year-old Russian will attempt to pick up his eighth victory of the campaign in a tough home matchup with a surging Capitals club that's won three straight contests.
MARCH 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Falls to Flyers Shesterkin turned aside 35 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.
Impact He was by far the busier goalie on the afternoon, facing a dozen more shots than Brian Elliott, and while Shesterkin put together a strong performance the same couldn't be said for the Rangers' offense. It's been the story of his season, as his sharp 2.34 GAA and .924 save percentage have only gotten Shesterkin a 7-8-1 record.
MARCH 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Facing Flyers Shesterkin will start between the pipes in Saturday's road game versus Philadelphia, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
Impact Shesterkin played well in his return from injury Thursday against the Flyers, stopping 41 of 44 shots en route to a dominant 8-3 victory. The 25-year-old netminder will attempt to secure his eighth win of the season in a rematch with the same Philadelphia squad Saturday.
MARCH 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Busy in return Shesterkin made 41 saves in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact In his first action since suffering a groin injury March 4, Shesterkin was spotted a 6-0 lead early in the second period, which made handling the massive workload he faced much less stressful. Two of the three Philadelphia goals came on the power play, so Shesterkin looked sharp and ready to help with the Rangers' playoff push over the second half of the season.

Starting in Philadelphia Shesterkin will patrol the crease during Thursday's road game versus the Flyers, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
Impact Shesterkin will return to action following a 10-game absence due to injury. The 25-year-old netminder will attempt to secure his seventh win of the season in a road matchup with a Philadelphia team that's averaging 3.10 goals per game this campaign, 11th in the NHL.
MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Activated from injured reserve Shesterkin (groin) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Impact Shesterkin is expected to practice Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for a potential return Thursday against the Flyers. The Russian netminder has been out since he was hurt March 4 versus the Devils. With Shesterkin active, Keith Kinkaid returned to the Rangers' taxi squad.

Remains out Monday Shesterkin remains unfit to play against Carolina on Monday despite earlier reporters he would be in goal, Jon Lane of NHL.com reports.
Impact Shesterkin was originally thought to be the netminder of record for Monday's contest, however, that appears to not be the case with the goaltender still unavailable. Henrik Lundqvist figures to be the starting netminder for the Rangers as long as Shesterkin is on the shelf.
AUGUST 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Between pipes Monday Lundqvist will make a second straight start for Monday's Game 2 clash with the Hurricanes, Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic reports.
Impact Lundqvist faced 37 shots in Game 1 in which he made 34 saves but wasn't able to secure the win for his club. King Henrik appears to have cemented himself as the preferred option in goal and will get the nod with Igor Shesterkin still unfit to play.
AUGUST 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
In goal Monday Shesterkin (undisclosed) will get the starting nod against Carolina on Monday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Impact Shesterkin missed Game 1 due to an undisclosed problem but will retake the crease over Henrik Lundqvist. Prior to the league going on hiatus, the 23-year-old netminder went 10-2-0 with a 2.51 GAA in 12 appearances, which no doubt factored into the team's decision to go back to him now that he is fully fit.
AUGUST 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Practices Sunday, uncertain Monday Shesterkin (undisclosed) partook in Sunday's practice but it's unclear if he'll be available for Monday's Game 2 against Carolina, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Impact The young phenom was a surprise scratch ahead of Game 1 on Saturday, paving the way for veteran Henrik Lundqvist to start. It's probably wise to not bank on Shesterkin being available given the ambiguity surrounding his status and the fact that Game 2 has an early start time of noon ET. Expect further clarification during Monday's pregame warmup and likely not any sooner.
