The three goalie outlook is not as bad as you think

The New York Rangers are stuck with one of the most unwieldy roster challenges, three goalies. Unless the Blueshirts are able to work a deadline for one of their goalies (presumably Alexandar Goergiev) they will have to split the workload between Henrik Lundqvist, rookie Igor Shesterkin and Georgiev. How will it work?

The good news is after a very light schedule in January, the Rangers have a very heavy schedule in February, March and one week in April. They play 34 games in 63 days, more than once every other day.

Looking at a strict rotation between the three and assuming that Henrik Lundqvist gets the first start against Detroit at Madison Square Garden on Friday, January 31, he will start 12 games in the rest of the season and Shesterkin and Georgiev will get 11 starts each.
