Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Bests Bruins
Rotowire
Shesterkin stopped 19 of 21 shots in a 6-2 victory over Boston on Friday.
Shesterkin carried a shutout into the third period, but it was broken up by Casey Mittelstadt at 4:07 of the final frame. Morgan Geekie then beat Shesterkin less than two minutes later, but the Rangers still held a 4-2 lead, and the New York goaltender stopped the Bruins' comeback bid there. Shesterkin has now allowed no more than two goals in any of his past three starts, and he's won all three of those games. The 29-year-old is an elite goaltender who sometimes doesn't get enough support from his teammates -- his 10-8-2 record in 2025-26 undersells just how good he's been. He'll take some unearned losses this campaign -- as well as have some off nights -- but it still wouldn't be surprising to see him hit the 30-win mark as long as the Rangers are at least mediocre the rest of the way. It helps that he tends to start in about three of every four games.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Calms 'Canes in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Shesterkin made 36 saves in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Carolina.
The 29-year-old was the busier of the two netminders on the night, as the Rangers got outshot 38-18, but Shesterkin was more than up to the challenge. He's allowed more than three goals only twice in 10 November starts, going 6-4-0 with a 2.60 GAA and a .907 save percentage. He could handle an even bigger workload than usual in the short term while Jonathan Quick (lower body) is unavailable.

Shesterkin stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Blue Jackets.

Shesterkin started each period strong, keeping the net tidy inside the first 10 minutes of each frame.

The Rangers have been shut out in each of his last two starts, so his poor recent results are due at least in part to the struggles of the skaters in front of Shesterkin. His next chance to get back on track is Monday against Nashville.
