Shesterkin will start vs. Minnesota on Wednesday.

The Rangers hope they can carry the momentum from a 6-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday as they turn to Shesterkin on Wednesday against the Minnesota Wild. Statistically speaking, Shesterkin is far and away having the worst season of his six-year career, posting a 2.84 GAA and .906 SV% through 55 games this season (24-26-5). With the Rangers desperately trying to stay within reach of a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference, they will need Shesterkin to make more of an impact than he has in his last six games (1-4-1), where he has a 3.25 GAA and .900 SV%. Still, the Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as -158 home favorites against a Wild team battling for their respective Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.
