Jonathan Quick ready to ‘go to work’ for Rangers with Igor Shesterkin on IR
NY Post
Nothing changes for Jonathan Quick in the wake of Igor Shesterkin going on IR with an upper-body injury sustained in the third period in Florida on Monday, when Sam Bennett crashed into the Rangers franchise goaltender after a hit from Ryan Lindgren.
“It doesn’t change the game plan, right? No matter who is in the lineup, who is out of the lineup, we do everything we can to prepare for the game [Thursday] night,” said Quick, who will be in net against the Bruins when the club attempts to stop its latest losing streak at four at the Garden. “Go to work.”
The Blueshirts did not provide an update on Shesterkin, who will miss a minimum of seven days in which the club has Boston and a back-to-back this weekend in Washington and Chicago before the Stars come to New York on Jan. 7. At this point, Shesterkin would be eligible to return for the Jan. 9 Garden match against the Devils, but there is surely no guarantee of that.
Quick has not started back-to-back games since April 12-13, 2022, when he was playing for the Kings. Louis Domingue, recalled from the Wolf Pack, will surely get one of the weekend games.
Domingue, who was 4-9-1 with a 3.64 GAA and .888 save percentage with AHL Hartford, has a 1-0 record with the Rangers, having beaten Minnesota 4-1 with 25 saves on Nov. 9, 2023 when both Shesterkin and Quick were unavailable. The Blueshirts promoted the 32-year-old on Tuesday in lieu of 22-year-old Dylan Garand, who is 9-4-2 with a 2.25 GAA and .926 save percentage with the Wolf Pack.
