Igor Shesterkin started in goal for the Rangers Tuesday against the Washington Capitals at the Garden, and, with the way the schedule is set up for the next couple of weeks, the 25-year-old Russian could be in line to start a bunch of games in a row as the Blueshirts try to claw their way back into the playoff picture.
"There's certainly an opportunity for him to do that,’’ Rangers coach David Quinn said of Shesterkin going on a run of consecutive starts.
