New York has signed Igor Shesterkin to an eight-year, $92 million contract extension ($11,500,000 AAV).
Shesterkin's $11.5 million AAV makes him the highest paid goaltender in NHL history. The 28-year-old Shesterkin won the Vezina trophy in the 2021-22 season and has a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% across 231 career games (143-68-18). Considered by many to be the best goalie in the NHL, Shesterkin has struggled lately, uncharacteristically allowing three or more goals in seven of his last nine (2-7-0), posting an ugly .882 SV%.
New York has acquired Urho Vaakanainen and a 2025 fourth-round pick from Anaheim for Jacob Trouba.
Vaakanainen was limited to only five games with the Ducks this season, scoring one point (0G / 1A), and will get a fresh start with the New York Rangers. The 25-year-old Vaakanainen was the 18th overall pick of the Boston Bruins in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. He played a career-high 68 games with the Ducks last season, tallying 14 points (1G / 13A).

The Rangers enter Friday's contest as -175 home favorites against a Pittsburgh Penguins club riding a season-best four-game winning streak.
Martin has been assigned to Chicago (AHL).
With recent injuries to Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov, Martin was thrust into the crease in Carolina and struggled when called upon, posting a 3.89 GAA and .846 SV% in nine appearances (3-4-1). The Hurricanes recalled Dustin Tokarski in a corresponding move.
