Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin out for the season with knee injury after fall against Capitals
New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin will miss the remainder of the season due to a right knee injury sustained during a game against the Washington Capitals on Friday night. The team confirmed this on Saturday. Shesterkin, who was a standout performer this season, was helping a teammate off the ice after an awkward fall into his own net during the second period.
He suffered a jammed right skate into the goal post as he slid back into the crease. This marks the first annual payment of $205.00 + GST for the season, with subsequent renewals at $233.00 + GST every 52 weeks, a 10% discount off the regular annual price of $259.35. The injury is a significant blow to the Rangers, who will have to rely on backup Dylan Garand for the time being.
