Rangers Place Goalie Igor Shesterkin on Injured Reserve

The New York Rangers announced that goaltender Igor Shesterkin has been placed on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury, which will keep him out for at least the next three games. In his absence, the team has recalled Louis Domingue from the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack, while backup Jonathan Quick is expected to take the majority of starts. Shesterkin, who recently signed an eight-year, $92 million contract extension, has struggled this season with an 11-15-1 record and a .906 save percentage, contributing to the Rangers' disappointing 16-19-1 record overall. The injury is particularly concerning as the Rangers have lost four straight games and are last in the Metropolitan Division. Shesterkin's injury reportedly occurred during a game against the Florida Panthers, where he allowed four goals on 25 shots. As the team prepares to face the Boston Bruins next, they are hoping to improve their performance without their star goaltender.
