"NEW YORK -- New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin left his team's game Monday night against the Utah Mammoth midway through the first period with a left leg injury. Shesterkin's leg bent awkwardly with his skate on the ice as he attempted to avoid contact with Mammoth forward JJ Peterka, who was on the edge of the crease. Peterka did not appear to make contact with Shesterkin, who lay down in the net in pain while he was attended to by a trainer."
"The 30-year-old face of the franchise was helped off the ice by the trainer and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov and did not put any weight on his left foot. Veteran backup Jonathan Quick replaced Shesterkin. At the end of the first period, the Rangers announced that Shesterkin had a lower-body injury, and he would not return. Quick, 39, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, is in his third season with the Rangers, and was 3-6-1 with a 2.11 goals-against average before Monday."
