Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin gets the most reps in net at practice

GREENBURGH, N.Y. _ One week before his team's lone "preseason" game July 29 against the Islanders, David Quinn isn't ready to declare who his No. 1 goaltender will be for Game 1 of the Rangers' best-of-five series against the Carolina Hurricanes.

But at practice Wednesday, Igor Shesterkin took all the reps in goal at one end of the ice, while Henrik Lundqvist and Alexandar Georgiev split time in net at the other end.

Quinn said that doesn't necessarily mean Shesterkin, who had been his No. 1 goalie when the NHL halted play March 12, has won the starting job just yet.

"The way the practice was today, there was one drill that we did where was handling the puck, and 'Georgie' and Hank were taking all the shots in that one drill," Quinn said. "Igor did have a full net today, and we'll probably move the net around a little bit moving forward.

"It's just, you know, it's not easy," he said. "It's a complicated dynamic when you've got three, and you're trying to get everybody shots."
