After practice on Friday, New York Ranger’s head coach David Quinn confirmed that goaltender Igor Shesterkin will miss at least Saturday’s game at New Jersey. Shesterkin suffered the lower-body injury late in the third period of the Ranger’s 6-1 victory over New Jersey. Shesterkin seemed to hurt his right leg with just under six minutes to play when he stretched to stop a 2-on-1 break and shot by Damon Severson. He went down without contact and had to be helped off the ice, dragging the leg.
Shesterkin did not practice on Friday. Alexandar Georgiev and Kieth Kinkaid were in the net for the practice session.
