Shesterkin will start in Winnipeg on Monday.

Shesterkin will be the starter for the Rangers on Monday as they face off in Winnipeg against the Jets (-120 road favourites). The 2021-22 Vezina trophy winner has been very pedestrian between the pipes to start the 2023-24 campaign, recording a 2.70 GAA and .900 SV% through six games (4-2-0). As long as he continues to garner wins, the Rangers won't be too particular about the finer details of his game but expect Shesterkin to elevate his game nearer to his career average of 2.39 GAA and .923 SV%.

Shesterkin will start Tuesday's game in Calgary.

Shesterkin will return to the starter's crease on Tuesday after making way for Rangers' backup goalie Jonathan Quick to make his first start of the season on Saturday, a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken. In four games this season, Shesterkin has struggled to find his Vezina-caliber form, posting a 3.14 GAA and .879 SV%. Shesterkin, who has never posted a sub- .916 SV% in any of his previous four NHL seasons, will look to get back on track Tuesday against a Calgary Flames team that has lost four of their last five (1-2-1).

Shesterkin will start Thursday's game against the Predators.

Shesterkin is coming off a season-high 26-save, 2-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes and will look to record consecutive victories for the first time this season. Shesterkin has started all three contests for the Rangers thus far and should continue to see the lion's share of action going forward. Shesterkin looks poised for a strong performance tonight as the Rangers are -182 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has struggled out of the gate, being outscored 14-9 in their first four games of the season (1-3-0).

Igor Shesterkin will start Monday vs. Arizona.

Shesterkin will make his third consecutive start to open the season for the Rangers on Monday night. The All-Star goaltender is coming off a forgettable performance on Saturday that saw him allow five goals on 21 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Last season, Shesterkin allowed five goals only once and followed it up with a victory performance where he allowed only two goals. Shesterkin and the Rangers will be looking to rebound as they are massive -232 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes team that has only played one game this season, a 4-3 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils.

Shesterkin will start Saturday in Columbus.

Shesterkin was his typical dominant self in the Rangers' season opener, stopping 24 of 25 shots in the win in Buffalo. On Saturday he will face a Blue Jackets team that lost to the Flyers in their opener. Shesterkin was 2-0-0 while allowing just two goals on 50 shots (.960 SV%) in two games against Columbus last year.

Shesterkin will start Thursday in Buffalo.

Shesterkin’s performance in the 2022-23 season may not have lived up the otherworldly campaign he enjoyed the previous year, but don’t let that trick you into overlooking one of the best goaltenders in the world. The .916 SV% and 2.48 GAA he put up last season are still elite compared to his peers, and it earned him a 37-13-8 record across 58 appearances. He is expected to command a heavy workload for the Rangers again this season and should continue to be a rock in goal for your fantasy teams, though he doesn’t draw the easiest matchup in Thursday’s season-opening clash with the Sabres.

The 27-year-old reigning Vezina Trophy winner has been remarkable in the playoffs this year, with his 2-1-0 record, 1.26 GAA and .950 SV%. He will hope for a more positive result as he takes on New Jersey Monday, who ranked fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.52) and shot per game (34.4).
