NHL EDGE stats: Rangers’ outlook with Shesterkin injured - NHL.com

The New York Rangers are off to a hot start as they won for the sixth time in eight games to start the season Tuesday night. But they were on the receiving end of some bad news over the weekend when it was announced that starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin will miss the rest of the season with a right knee injury. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported on Tuesday’s edition of Insider Trading that general manager Chris Drury is making calls around the league for a possible replacement. Dreger mentioned the Rangers have inquired about Connor Hellebuyck with the Winnipeg Jets, but the Rangers do not have a sense of urgency and “flat-out don’t wanna pay the hefty price” that Hellebuyck carries. Hellebuyck, who requested a trade out of Winnipeg in the off-season, remains suspended from the Jets after not reporting to training camp and has forfeited nearly $600,000 in salary as of Wednesday morning. As Dreger mentioned in last week’s edition of Insider Trading, Hellebuyck and the Jets continue to explore a trade that works for both the team and the goaltender.
