Falls to Flyers Shesterkin turned aside 35 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.

Impact He was by far the busier goalie on the afternoon, facing a dozen more shots than Brian Elliott, and while Shesterkin put together a strong performance the same couldn't be said for the Rangers' offense. It's been the story of his season, as his sharp 2.34 GAA and .924 save percentage have only gotten Shesterkin a 7-8-1 record.

Impact Shesterkin played well in his return from injury Thursday against the Flyers, stopping 41 of 44 shots en route to a dominant 8-3 victory. The 25-year-old netminder will attempt to secure his eighth win of the season in a rematch with the same Philadelphia squad Saturday.

Busy in return Shesterkin made 41 saves in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact In his first action since suffering a groin injury March 4, Shesterkin was spotted a 6-0 lead early in the second period, which made handling the massive workload he faced much less stressful. Two of the three Philadelphia goals came on the power play, so Shesterkin looked sharp and ready to help with the Rangers' playoff push over the second half of the season.

Remains out Monday Shesterkin remains unfit to play against Carolina on Monday despite earlier reporters he would be in goal, Jon Lane of NHL.com reports.

Impact Shesterkin was originally thought to be the netminder of record for Monday's contest, however, that appears to not be the case with the goaltender still unavailable. Henrik Lundqvist figures to be the starting netminder for the Rangers as long as Shesterkin is on the shelf.

Between pipes Monday Lundqvist will make a second straight start for Monday's Game 2 clash with the Hurricanes, Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lundqvist faced 37 shots in Game 1 in which he made 34 saves but wasn't able to secure the win for his club. King Henrik appears to have cemented himself as the preferred option in goal and will get the nod with Igor Shesterkin still unfit to play.

In goal Monday Shesterkin (undisclosed) will get the starting nod against Carolina on Monday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Impact Shesterkin missed Game 1 due to an undisclosed problem but will retake the crease over Henrik Lundqvist. Prior to the league going on hiatus, the 23-year-old netminder went 10-2-0 with a 2.51 GAA in 12 appearances, which no doubt factored into the team's decision to go back to him now that he is fully fit.

Practices Sunday, uncertain Monday Shesterkin (undisclosed) partook in Sunday's practice but it's unclear if he'll be available for Monday's Game 2 against Carolina, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Impact The young phenom was a surprise scratch ahead of Game 1 on Saturday, paving the way for veteran Henrik Lundqvist to start. It's probably wise to not bank on Shesterkin being available given the ambiguity surrounding his status and the fact that Game 2 has an early start time of noon ET. Expect further clarification during Monday's pregame warmup and likely not any sooner.

Takes loss in Game 1 Lundqvist made 34 saves in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Qualifier.

Impact Getting the surprise start over Igor Shesterkin (undisclosed), the veteran netminder was scored on by Jaccob Slavin just 61 seconds into the game after a defensive breakdown by the Rangers. Lundqvist then turned back the clock and put together a vintage performance to keep his team in the game, but New York couldn't climb out of the hole. Shesterkin's status is uncertain for Game 2 on Monday, but Lundqvist's strong showing suggests he's more than up to the task if needed.

AUGUST 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Labeled day-to-day Shesterkin (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Impact Shesterkin was expected to be in goal for Saturday's Game 1 against Carolina, but the Rangers revealed he was considered unfit to play as pregame warmups got underway, paving the way for Henrik Lundqvist to start between the pipes. Another update on the 24-year-old should surface prior to Monday's Game 2.

AUGUST 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Unfit to play Saturday Shesterkin (undisclosed) has been deemed unfit to play in Saturday's Game 1 against the Hurricanes, The Athletic's Rick Carpiniello reports.

Impact This news comes as a complete surprise, as Shesterkin was considered the front-runner to be in goal against Carolina after starting Wednesday's exhibition against the Islanders. At this point, it isn't clear how long the 24-year-old netminder will be sidelined, but Henrik Lundqvist will take over as New York's No. 1 netminder until Shesterkin is cleared to return.

AUGUST 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Starting exhibition match Shesterkin will get the start in goal and play the first half of Wednesday's exhibition game against the Islanders, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Impact Coach David Quinn has yet to name a starter for Saturday's Game 1 against the Hurricanes, but Shesterkin getting the nod for Wednesday's exhibition suggests he's currently the front-runner to enter the postseason as the Rangers' No. 1 netminder. The 24-year-old Russian was fantastic in limited action during the regular season, posting a 10-2-0 record while registering an impressive 2.51 GAA and .932 save percentage in 12 appearances.
