Igor Shesterkin Returns for Rangers Against Devils

New York Rangers' goaltender Igor Shesterkin is set to return to the lineup on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils after missing four games due to an upper-body injury sustained on December 30. His comeback is expected to boost the struggling Rangers, who have been without their star goalie since December 31. Shesterkin, a former Vezina Trophy winner, has recorded a .906 save percentage and a 3.10 goals-against average this season. Alongside Shesterkin's return, Arthur Kaliyev will make his debut for the Rangers following his acquisition from the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Rempe will rejoin after an eight-game suspension. Shesterkin recently signed an eight-year, $92 million contract, which will commence next season, making him the highest-paid goaltender in the league. The team anticipates these roster changes will help improve their current form.
