Goaltender Igor Shesterkin, who was deemed “unfit to play’’ in Game 1 of the Rangers’ play-in series against Carolina on Saturday, practiced Sunday but again was ruled unfit to play for Game 2. Henrik Lundqvist, who got the last-minute assignment to play in Game 1, started again in Game 2 and made 30 saves on 34 shots.
Coach David Quinn described Lundqvist’s play as “solid,’’ but left open the possibility he could play a different goalie in Game 3 on Tuesday.
“We haven’t decided, internally, what we’re going to do tomorrow,’’ Quinn said.
If Shesterkin, who was again shown on television sitting in the stands of Scotiabank Arena, wearing a mask (not a goalie mask, but a regular face covering), is fit to play, Quinn could turn to him.
