Rangers G Igor Shesterkin lands on IR after noncontact injury

The New York Rangers placed top goaltender Igor Shesterkin on injured reserve Tuesday, one day after he suffered a lower-body injury in the first period of a loss to Utah.

Shesterkin must miss at least seven days while on IR, and ESPN reported that the Rangers feel they avoided a "worst-case scenario" with his injury.

New York is also moving defenseman Adam Fox to long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury. On LTIR, Fox must miss 10 games and 24 calendar days.
