Ice Hockey Goaltender:
Shesterkin stayed down on the ice and had to be helped off as he avoided putting weight on the leg. He stopped all 19 shots he faced after entering Friday with a 12-3-2 record and .935 save percentage. Backup goalie Alexandar Georgiev came on to replace him, making nine saves to secure the win.
“It’s never easy for a goalie to come in like that,” Adam Fox said. “But I thought we did a good job trying to keep them to the outside, and when they got some good chances, Georgie came up big for us.”

He was injured in the third round of the game. It is believed that he got injured when he saved the write-blocker. There was a puck in front of him and as he scrambled near the crease, Igor spread across the ice.
He had difficulty getting back up and had to leave the game with 14:52 remaining. However, the Rangers head coach said that his injury is not as bad as it seems.
