Overview
- The NHL’s official roster list shows Igor Shesterkin on the injured list following the Jan. 6 game.
- Shesterkin was hurt in a first‑period collision with Utah forward JJ Peterka and left the ice unable to put weight on his left leg, accompanied by team staff and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov.
- The Rangers lost the matchup to the Utah Mammoth 3–2 in overtime, the game in which the injury occurred.
- ESPN, citing reporter Emily Kaplan, reports the goaltender is expected to miss roughly one week, with further medical checks ongoing.
- Based on TASS reporting, the earliest projected return is the Jan. 13 home game against Seattle, and his season line (34 GP, 17 wins, 2.45 GAA, .913 SV%) underscores the short‑term impact.
