It still remains unclear how Igor Shesterkin sustained this injury, but it likely from when the Rangers faced off against the Florida Panthers on Monday night, as there was several cases of players crashing into the net and taking him out.

However, it was confirmed by the Hartford Wolf Pack that goaltender Louis Domingue was recalled from the American Hockey League to the New York Rangers roster.
