GREENBURGH, N.Y. – Igor Shesterkin took the first turn in the net at the end where Henrik Lundqvist normally occupies during practices, which may say something regarding the goaltending pecking order going into training camp as coach David Quinn tries to figure out who his No. 1 goalie will be when the Rangers face off in their best-of-5 play-in series against the Carolina Hurricanes Aug. 1.
Quinn said he met with all three goaltenders (including Alexandar Georgiev) to tell them how important the next three weeks will be for them in the battle to be No. 1.
“That being said, it's not just about these last three weeks,’’ Quinn said.
