The New York Rangers just don’t lose. It wasn’t pretty, but they were able to win their fifth in a row on Friday against the San Jose Sharks and will look to win their second game in as many days to take the win streak to six.
Unfortunately, the Rangers were dealt a big blow in Friday’s game. Goaltender Igor Shesterkin, arguably the best netminder in the NHL, left the game in the third period with an injury.
On Saturday, he was placed on IR and will miss at least the next three games. Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, who has struggled mightily in his limited appearances this season, will have to prove his worth over this upcoming stretch.
