Rangers have goalie questions to answer as season winds down
NY Post
What more is left for Igor Shesterkin to do?
The Rangers goalie brought rare joy to Madison Square Garden in Tuesday’s win over the Devils, inspiring and entertaining his teammates after throwing down with goalie Jacob Markstrom in his first career fight.
Shesterkin did it while performing like the former Vezina Trophy winner who led the Rangers to the Presidents’ Trophy two years ago, allowing one goal for the second straight game and leading the team to its first three-game home win streak this season.
Shesterkin gives the team its best chance to win when wins aren’t necessarily in the best interest of a team looking ahead to the June draft. He is the $92 million foundation for whatever the Rangers’ retooling brings.
His backups offer uncertainty.
Jonathan Quick, 40, will be a free agent and is finishing an underwhelming third season in New York, going 5-16-2 with a 3.19 goals against average and .889 save percentage. Dylan Garand, 23, has brought excitement in his first two career starts, going 1-0-1 with a 1.44 GAA and a .954 save percentage.

The loss? You can live with a loss. You can even live with a series loss. It’s highly likely that even the Dodgers might drop a series on their way to 140 wins. Hell, even the Yankees might drop one on their way to 145.
