Shesterkin will start in Boston on Friday.

The Rangers have stumbled through the 2025-26 season, off to a mediocre 12-11-2 start, but have won two straight and will turn to Shesterkin to tend the twine on Friday against the Boston Bruins. The 29-year-old Shesterkin was excellent in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes, saving 36 of 38 shots (.947 SV%). He has a 2.47 GAA and .911 SV% in 19 games this season (9-8-2). The Rangers enter the action on Friday as -135 road favorites against a Bruins team that has scored three or fewer goals in seven straight games (3-4-0).

Shesterkin will start in Carolina on Wednesday.

Shesterkin was already seeing a heavy workload, but with Jonathan Quick (lower body) on IR, expect him to see nearly all of the action until Quick returns. The 29-year-old Shesterkin has been inconsistent this season, mirroring the Rangers' team game, but was serviceable in his most recent outing, saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. He has a 2.50 GAA and .909 SV% in 18 games this season (8-8-2). The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +165 road underdogs against a Hurricanes team that defeated them 3-0 earlier this month.

Shesterkin will start vs. St. Louis on Monday.

The Rangers look to snap a four-game losing streak on Monday, hoping Shesterkin can re-find his game in a matchup against the St. Louis Blues. The 29-year-old Shesterkin has allowed three or more goals in five of his last season games (3-3-0), posting a .898 SV%. The 29-year-old goalie has a 2.53 GAA and .909 SV% in 17 games this season (7-8-2). The Rangers are -139 home favorites against a Blues team that has only scored seven goals in their last four games (1-2-1).

Shesterkin will start in Colorado on Thursday.

The Rangers have lost two straight and hope to return to the win column on Thursday with Shesterkin tending the twine against the red-hot Colorado Avalanche. The 29-year-old Shesterkin has a serviceable 2.43 GAA and .911 SV% in 16 gams (7-7-2), but has been unspectacular lately, allowing three or more goals in four of his last five games (3-2-0) while posting a .903 SV%. The Rangers enter the action on Thursday as +180 road underdogs against an Avalanche team on a six-game winning streak.

Shesterkin will start in Vegas on Tuesday.

Shesterkin will return to New York's crease after he took the night off on Sunday and will look to continue his personal three game winning streak in Vegas on Tuesday. The 29-year-old netminder has been back to his Vezina winning form of years previous in 2025-26, posting a 7-6-2 record with a 2.39 GAA and a .913 SV% in 15 starts this season. He heads to Vegas to take on the struggling Golden Knights, who have lost five of their last six games.

Shesterkin will start in Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

The Rangers have had a wildly inconsistent 2025-26 season, struggling to score, but have won two of their last three (2-1-0), and will turn to Shesterkin on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 29-year-old Shesterkin played well in his most recent outing, saving 27 of 30 shots (.900 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Nashville Predators. He has a 2.46 GAA and .909 SV% in 13 games this season (5-6-1). The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +123 road underdogs against a Lightning team that has won seven of their last eight (7-1-0).

Shesterkin will start vs. Nashville on Monday.

The Rangers are an abysmal 0-6-1 on home ice this season, shut out five times, and desperately hope for their first win at Madison Square Garden on Monday, turning to Igor Shesterkin when they host the Nashville Predators. Despite an underwhelming 4-6-2 record, Shesterkin has been serviceable in the Rangers' crease this season, posting a 2.41 GAA and .909 SV% in 12 games. The Rangers enter Monday's contest as -180 home favorites against a Predators team that is 1-3-2 on the road this season.

Shesterkin will start vs. Carolina on Tuesday.

The Rangers started the season with otherworldly goaltending from Shesterkin, despite a losing 2-3-1 record, posting a 1.20 GAA and a .957 SV% in those six outings. Oddly enough, Shesterking has dropped off significantly, posting an ugly 4.00 GAA and .845 SV% in four games since, but has managed a better 2-1-1 record. The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as slight -101 home underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has lost three of its last four games (1-3-0).

Shesterkin will start in Edmonton on Thursday.

The Rangers' disappointing 4-5-2 start to the season is directly correlated to their poor play on home ice. They will be on the road, where they boast an impressive 4-1-1 record, when they visit the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. Shesterkin has a solid 2.25 GAA and .916 SV% in eight games for the Rangers (2-4-2), but has struggled in his last two (0-1-1), allowing 11 goals on 54 combined shots (.796 SV%). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as +143 road underdogs against an Oilers team that has earned points in four of its last five games (3-1-1).

Shesterkin will start against the Sharks on Thursday.

The Rangers have been among the NHL's worst teams offensively early in the 2025-26 season, scoring only 16 goals through eight contests (2.0 GF / GP), but have salvaged a serviceable 3-4-1 record thanks in part to elite goaltending from Shesterkin. The 29-year-old Shesterkin is boasting an incredible 1.17 GAA and .957 SV% through six games this season (2-3-1). Despite being winless at home (0-4-0), the Rangers enter Thursday's contest as -282 home favorites against a San Jose Sharks team looking for their first victory of the season (0-4-2).

Shesterkin will start against the Wild on Monday.

The Rangers have had an up-and-down start to the 2025-26 season, shut out in three of seven games (3-3-1), but have received near-perfection from goaltender Igor Shesterkin. After an uncharacteristically poor 2024-25 season by his standards, the 29-year-old Shesterkin has rebounded early in 2025-26, showcasing an outstanding 1.00 GAA and .962 SV% in five games (2-2-1). As they enter Monday's contest, the Rangers are -136 home favorites against a Minnesota Wild team that has been outscored 12-4 during a three-game losing skid (0-2-1).
