When it rains it pours. For the New York Rangers, the news isn’t good on Igor Shesterkin. In a story Mollie Walker of the NY Post broke earlier today, the Rangers placed Shesterkin on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.

The injury likely occurred early in the third period against the Florida Panthers. Sam Bennett drove hard to the net and was stopped by Shesterkin. After the save, Ryan Lindgren hit Bennett from behind into Shesterkin, knocking him down. He was checked out by the Rangers trainer but remained in the game.

Despite taking a blow to the head, Shesterkin appeared to shake it off. He finished the game with 21 saves in the 5-3 loss. With him now placed on IR, that means he won’t be available for the Rangers’ next three games. If he’s ready to go, Shesterkin will be eligible to return on Jan. 7 versus the Dallas Stars.

Without him, that means the Rangers will turn to Jonathan Quick when they return to action to take on the Boston Bruins on Thursday night. After a day off, they then face the Washington Capitals and Chicago Blackhawks this weekend in a back-to-back on the road.

The Rangers recalled Louis Domingue from the Hartford Wolf Pack to back up Quick.
