The Rangers appear to have lost Igor Shesterkin to a serious injury. During the first period against the Mammoth, Shesterkin was accidentally run into by J.J. Peterka, who was searching for a rebound following a save on Dylan Guenther.

After Peterka banged into Shesterkin and knocked him over inside his crease, he was in a lot of pain while lying flat on his back. The injury occurred with seven minutes remaining in the period.

Rangers trainers immediately came out to tend to him. Noticeably limping off while being helped to the locker room, Shesterkin couldn’t put any weight on his right leg.

Jonathan Quick immediately replaced the injured Shesterkin in the net. Before he exited the game, Shesterkin made nine saves in a scoreless period. Quick came on in relief and stopped all three shots.

When the game concludes, we’ll learn more about the right leg injury Shesterkin suffered. If it’s as bad as it looked, he could be lost for the remainder of the season.

The 30-year-old netminder entered the game with a 17-12-4 record, a 2.47 goals-against-average, .912 save percentage, and one shutout.
