Igor Shesterkin dodges a bullet, day-to-day with groin strain

Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. Igor Shesterkin, who suffered what appeared to be a gruesome injury last night, will only be day-to-day with a mild groin strain.

Shesterkin couldn’t even put weight on his right side, which made us all fear for the worst. Luckily this doesn’t appear to be serious. That said, goalies kind of need their groins for pushing off. These can linger if rushed back too soon. This is still great news, given what it could have been.
