Rangers’ Igor Shesterkin to Miss Rest of Season With Knee Injury

This is a heavy blow for the New York Rangers. Star goalie Igor Sheshjorkin has a knee injury and will miss the rest of the season, the NHL club announced.

It happened in the second period of Saturday night's 3-1 loss to Washington, local time in Sweden. Sheshjorkin's right skate got caught in one of the posts before he fell. The 30-year-old Russian was helped off the ice and could not put weight on his right leg.

"You never want any player to get injured. He's obviously a very important player for us," coach Mike Sullivan said before the extent of the injury was known.
