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%).
