The New York Rangers practiced Wednesday before heading to Philadelphia for their grudge match on Thursday. The big news coming out of practice was that Igor Shesterkin will be getting the start and Vitali Kravtsov will have to wait to make his NHL debut.
Interim coach Kris Knoblauch provided most of the answers when he spoke after practice. When it comes to Shesterkin he said “He is expected to start on Thursday and no problems, he’s 100% and we’re excited to have him back.
