"An already challenging first season of the Mike Sullivan era took a turn for the worse when the New York Rangers placed star defenseman Adam Fox on long-term injured reserve and netminder Igor Shesterkin on IR. Shesterkin suffered a lower-body injury during Monday's 3-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth when he was run into by JJ Peterka while making a save midway through the first period."
"But after he laid on the ice for a few moments, he was unable to put any weight on his left leg while being helped off the ice by team trainers. In 34 starts this season, the former Vezina Trophy winner has a .913 save percentage and a 2.45 goals-against average.Veteran Jonathan Quick will man the crease as the primary starter during Shesterkin's absence."
Igor Shesterkin suffered a lower-body injury after being run into by JJ Peterka during a 3-2 loss, leaving the game unable to bear weight on his left leg. Shesterkin has a .913 save percentage and a 2.45 goals-against average in 34 starts this season. Jonathan Quick will assume primary starting duties during Shesterkin's absence. Adam Fox was placed on long-term injured reserve after returning from a shoulder issue and then suffering an apparent lower-body injury; his LTIR designation requires a minimum 10-game absence, with the earliest potential return on Jan. 29.
