Igor Shesterkin, the New York Rangers' goalie, faced a tough outing against the Buffalo Sabres, allowing five goals on just 11 shots before being pulled in the second period. The Sabres quickly capitalized, with Rasmus Dahlin scoring just 26 seconds into the game, followed by four more goals in the second period.

Shesterkin, who has had a solid season so far, is in the final year of his contract and has aspirations of becoming the highest-paid goaltender in NHL history. He previously won the Vezina Trophy in the 2021-22 season.
