  "account": "The New York Rangers' star goaltender, Igor Shesterkin, suffered a serious leg injury during Friday night's game against the Washington Capitals. The injury occurred in the second period while Shesterkin was attempting to return to his net, with his skate getting caught on the goalpost. This caused his leg to bend awkwardly, resulting in considerable pain. He immediately hit the ice in obvious distress and lay there while receiving medical attention from trainers. Getting back to the bench required significant assistance from teammates and staff, and it was evident that he was bearing little to no weight on his right leg. Shesterkin was temporarily replaced by Dylan Garand, who had stopped 13 of the 14 shots he had faced up to that point. As of now, the Rangers have not released any information regarding Shesterkin's condition, and this story will be updated as more details become available.",
