Igor Shesterkin is a left-shooting goaltender for the New York Rangers whose NHL career features 325 games, 187 wins, and a Vezina Trophy.
Overview
Igor Shesterkin tends goal for the New York Rangers as a left-shooting netminder, drafted by the club in 2014. In the crease, his game is about positioning and rebound control: staying square to shooters, tracking pucks through traffic, and using his stick to direct play away from danger. He competes in the NHL, where that technical foundation faces the league's fastest attacks.
Shesterkin stays with the Rangers in the NHL. His regular-season record through the latest campaign lists 325 games and 187 wins. He has also earned a Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender and has played for Russia internationally. That combination of club tenure and individual recognition frames where he stands now.
