And while that’s positive news for the Rangers, who had said the goalie would be sidelined one to two weeks after seemingly suffering the injury near his lower arm in a scrum in front of the goalmouth, the real question is, what version of Shesterkin will they see?

Prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off break, Igor Shesterkin sustained an upper-body injury that kept him out for the New York Rangers game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Shesterkin was ultimately ruled out for 1-2 weeks.

The Rangers' goalie entered last year's NHL all-star break sporting a sub-.900 save percentage, then finished the season with a .929 SV% and league-best 18.59 goals saved above average from that point forward, according to Natural Stat Trick.
