The New York Rangers placed goaltender Igor Shesterkin on injured reserve and defenseman Adam Fox on long-term injured reserve Tuesday, a day after the team's 3-2 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth. Both players have lower-body injuries.
According to sources, the Rangers avoided the worst-case scenario with Shesterkin, who left Monday's game early with a noncontact injury and hobbled to the locker room with the help of a teammate and a trainer.
Shesterkin underwent imaging Tuesday and continues to be evaluated, but the injury is not believed to keep him out past a week-to-week designation, sources said.
