Set to face Canucks Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic, indicating he will protect the home net Monday against Vancouver.

Impact Shesterkin has gone 6-1-0 in his past seven outings, surrendering just 15 goals on 196 shots during that span. He has posted a 16-8-0 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 24 games played this campaign. Vancouver sits first in the league with 3.82 goals per contest this season.

Sharp in 16th win Shesterkin made 21 saves in Thursday's 4-1 win over Chicago.

Impact The 28-year-old netminder wasn't challenged much, but the only puck to beat Shesterkin came on a defensive breakdown by the Rangers that left Colin Blackwell unmarked in front of him late in the second period. Shesterkin has won six of his last seven starts, posting a 2.12 GAA and .923 save percentage over that stretch, and his 16 wins on the season are tied for fifth in the NHL with Juuse Saros despite the fact he's seen the ice in seven fewer games than his Nashville counterpart.

In goal Thursday Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports, indicating he'll get a starting nod at home versus Chicago.

Impact Shesterkin will be back in action after getting shelled by the Hurricanes on Tuesday to the tune of six goals allowed on 27 shots (.778 save percentage). Prior to Tuesday's defeat, the backstop had been on a five-game winning streak during which he registered a 1.58 GAA. Even with a one-game blip, Shesterkin is firmly locked in as the No. 1 option ahead of veteran Jonathan Quick.

Capsized by Carolina Shesterkin made 21 saves in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Carolina struck for two power-play goals in the first period that New York never recovered from, and while Shesterkin didn't get much help from his defense, he also didn't come up with any momentum-shifting stops when the game still hung in the balance. The ugly outing snapped a five-game win streak for the netminder in which he's allowed just eight goals in total, and on the season Shesterkin sports a career-worst 2.83 GAA and .906 save percentage.

In net versus Hurricanes Per Colin Stephenson of Newsday, Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll defend the blue paint during Tuesday's home game against Carolina.

Impact Shesterkin has been excellent over the past two-plus weeks, securing five straight wins while posting an admirable 1.58 GAA and .946 save percentage. He'll try to secure his 16th win of the season in a home matchup with a Hurricanes squad that's averaging 2.95 goals per game on the road this campaign, 20th in the NHL.

Impact The birthday boy Shesterkin put on a show, just like the rest of his team. The only puck that got past him came off the stick of Nikita Kucherov, who one-timed a pass on the power play late in the second period. Shesterkin has won five straight games, allowing just eight goals in that span (.946 save percentage).

Slated starter Saturday Shesterkin is expected to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Saturday, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Impact Shesterkin is 14-7-0 with a 2.77 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 21 contests this season. Although his GAA and save percentage are somewhat disappointing compared to his past performances, he has won his last four starts while kicking out 105 of 112 shots (.938 save percentage). The Lightning are a somewhat challenging adversary, ranking 14th offensively this year with 3.31 goals per game.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Extends win streak to four starts Shesterkin allowed one goal on 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact Shesterkin picked up where he left off prior to the holiday break, stretching his winning streak to four games. He has allowed just seven goals over that span, and Shesterkin's back to his usual superstar level following a slight wobble after a lower-body injury in November. This is arguably the best team the soon-to-be 28-year-old netminder has had in front of him since his NHL debut in 2020, as the Rangers lead the league standings in point percentage.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to face Capitals Shesterkin is expected to guard the home crease against Washington on Wednesday, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Impact Shesterkin has won his last three starts while allowing just six goals on 85 shots (.929 save percentage). That's elevated him to a 13-7-0 record, 2.86 GAA and .906 save percentage in 20 outings this campaign. Washington, which ranks 31st offensively this year with 2.39 goals per game, figures to be a favorable matchup.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Best when game on line Shesterkin made 27 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact There would have been no overtime winner for the Rangers if there was no Igor Shesterkin. He made three 10-bell saves in the extra frame, one on a breakaway and the other two on a 2-on-1 with a juicy rebound, to give his team a chance for the win. Shesterkin hadn't been himself earlier in the season, but he's won three straight and is dialled in right now. His ratios are about to start to improve. A lot.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Sabres Shesterkin will guard the home goal versus the Sabres on Saturday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Impact Shesterkin has turned things around with wins over Toronto and Boston in his last two outings. Prior to that, he allowed 15 goals over a three-game losing streak. The Sabres have been inconsistent lately, winning three of their last six games.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stops 31 shots in win Shesterkin turned aside 31 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Shesterkin's now won back-to-back starts, allowing just three goals on 55 shots in that span, after dropping his previous three outings while posting an uncharacteristic .839 save percentage. The 27-year-old Shesterkin improved to 12-7-0 with a .908 save percentage and 2.86 GAA on the season. He'll likely be back in net Friday for a home matchup with the Oilers.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start in Toronto Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post, indicating he will guard the road goal Tuesday against Toronto.

Impact Shesterkin is coming off a 21-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over Boston. He gave up six goals on 29 shots in a 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Dec. 12. Shesterkin has posted a record of 11-7-0 this season with a 2.91 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 18 appearances. Toronto sits second in the league this campaign with 3.64 goals per contest.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Regains form in Boston Shesterkin made 21 saves in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact After coughing up 15 goals on 93 shots during a three-start losing streak, Shesterkin rose to the occasion in a showdown with Jeremy Swayman, making a number of big stops to keep the Rangers in the game until New York's offense finally got going in the third period. Shesterkin has posted the worst numbers of his NHL career so far in 2023-24 with a 2.91 GAA and .904 save percentage, but the 27-year-old is more than capable of flipping the switch and putting together a dominant run.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tending twine Saturday Shesterkin will defend the road net Saturday against Boston, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

Impact Shesterkin has surrendered 15 goals on 93 shots during his three-game losing streak. He has posted a 10-7-0 record this season with a 3.02 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 17 appearances. Boston is tied for 14th in the league this campaign with 3.25 goals per contest.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Buried by Leafs Shesterkin turned aside 23 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to Toronto.

Impact The 27-year-old netminder got hung out to dry by a Rangers defense that mostly stood around and watched as the Leafs built a 4-1 first-period lead. The six goals allowed were a season high for Shesterkin and he's been far from his Vezina form lately, losing three straight starts and posting a 3.59 GAA and .894 save percentage over nine appearances since he returned from a lower-body injury in mid-November. Look for Jonathan Quick to continue getting more work than expected until Shesterkin gets on track.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nine goals allowed over last two Shesterkin made 25 saves in a 4-0 loss to the Capitals on Saturday.

Impact It wasn't really on Shesterkin -- Charlie Lindgren was lights out at the other end of the ice, and the Rangers couldn't solve him. Still, the talented 'tender hasn't hasn't been his dominant self this season, even if the Rangers have looked like the NHL's best. Shesterkin is 10-6-0 with a 2.83 GAA and .908 save percentage. He has allowed nine goals in his last two games, both losses.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stumbles in Ottawa Shesterkin turned aside 30 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Senators.

Impact Ottawa's final goal was scored into an empty net. The ugly loss was mostly a team effort by the Rangers, and turnovers, odd-man rushes and net-front traffic gave Shesterkin little chance on any of the pucks that beat him. He's still looked a little off since returning from a lower-body injury in mid-November, and over his last seven starts Shesterkin has a 4-3-0 record with a 3.17 GAA and .910 save percentage.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in goal Tuesday Shesterkin is set to start Tuesday's road clash with Ottawa after being the first goalie to leave the ice, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Impact Shesterkin is coming off a solid outing last time out, having stopped 38 of 41 shots faced in a victory over the Predators. The win gave Shesterkin three victories in his last four contests for a total of 10 on the year. While backup Jonathan Quick has yet to suffer a regulation defeat, Shesterkin should continue to see the majority of the starts.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Nashville Shesterkin will guard the road goal Saturday versus Nashville, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Impact Shesterkin is coming off a 25-save performance in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Detroit. He has registered a mark of 9-4-0 this season with a 2.54 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 13 appearances. The Predators sit 15th in the league with 3.23 goals per game this campaign.

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stops 25 in win Shesterkin stopped 25 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Detroit scored two goals within 30 seconds midway through the second period, but Shesterkin would hold them there as the Rangers rallied for a 3-2 win. It was a solid bounce-back effort after Shesterkin allowed four goals in a loss to Buffalo in his previous start. The 27-year-old goaltender is now 9-4-0 with a .915 save percentage on the season.
