Igor Shesterkin headed to injured reserve in telling Rangers update
NY Post
Even on a day the Rangers got some positive injury news, they were blindsided by more bad luck.
While Igor Shesterkin will only be going on injured reserve after the goalie left Monday’s loss to Utah with an apparent left leg injury, Adam Fox is headed to long-term IR, a source told The Post’s Mollie Walker.
It was the latest dose of ugly reality for a team that has dealt with significant injuries throughout the season.
Shesterkin continues to be evaluated for a lower-body injury following his scary injury in the first period Monday at Madison Square Garden that left him writhing in pain before he had to be helped off the ice.
In the immediate aftermath of the injury, it was certainly reasonable to fear the goalie might be out indefinitely.
But relief regarding Shesterkin’s status was doused by the fact that Fox, after just three games back from a shoulder injury that kept him out for 14 games, would be out at least 10 games and 24 days, this time with a lower-body injury, a source said. The earliest Fox can return is Jan. 31 in Pittsburgh.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
