COLUMBUS, Ohio -— Good thing the Rangers are heading into a two-break because goalie Igor Shesterkin is going to miss 1-2 weeks with an upper body injury. A source confirmed the injury, which may have occurred during the first period of Friday's 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh. Shesterkin played the entire game.

Goalie Igor Shesterkin suffering an upper-body injury just as the NHL is set to break for its 4 Nations Face-Off tournament is the kind of fortuitous timing the Rangers badly need. There are no ideal injury situations,

Igor Shesterkin is out 1-2 weeks for the New York Rangers with an upper-body injury.

Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin is expected to miss time with an injury, but there's a silver lining despite the negative health report.

According to a report from the New York Post's Mollie Walker, Igor Shesterkin will miss the next one to two weeks of action due to an injury. Shesterkin is officially being ruled out with an "upper body" injury which is less than ideal for the Rangers, but the silver lining comes from the timing of this injury.

The New York Rangers will be without starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin for at least one to two weeks after he suffered an upper-body injury in Friday’s 3–2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The good news for New York, however, is that the NHL will enter a two-week hiatus starting Monday thanks to the 4 Nations Face-Off kicking off Wednesday.
