New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin was helped off the ice after suffering an apparent right knee injury during a 3-1 loss to the Washington Capitals. Shesterkin caught his skate on the post while scrambling back toward his crease in the second period and collapsed into the net. He was unable to put weight on his right leg when exiting the game.
Head coach Mike Sullivan had no immediate update on Shesterkin's condition postgame, describing the injury as concerning. Backup goaltender Dylan Garand replaced Shesterkin midway through the game with the score tied 1-1, stopping 11 of 12 shots in relief.
