The New York Rangers lost more than a game when the Utah Mammoth rallied for a 3-2 overtime win at Madison Square Garden on Monday night – they might also have lost their starting goaltender for a while.
Sean Durzi tapped Nick Schmaltz’s pass behind Jonathan Quick 1:06 into OT for the win in a game the Rangers led 1-0 and 2-1. The NHL’s newest franchise is now 3-1-0 against the Rangers, with all three wins in overtime.
But the point the Rangers (20-18-6) lost in comparison to the loss of starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin to a first-period injury.
