Tuesday’s match at the Garden represents the first game of the second half of the season, but it seems more like Game 1 of 2020-21 — and beyond — for the Rangers now that Igor Shesterkin has been recalled from AHL Hartford and given the starting assignment against the Avalanche. It is unclear whether the Blueshirts willingly jumped into the future or were pushed by the unnerving prospect of Shesterkin exercising his contractual out-clause and leaving the Wolf Pack to return to the KHL or play in another league in Europe. It is not known whether ultimatums were issued or hypothetical dates were discussed, but we do know that management has been in constant communication with the goaltender’s agent, Rick Komarow, over the last month, if not longer. The thing is, the timing of this maneuver is a bit curious. Henrik Lundqvist and Alexandar Georgiev remain on the roster and are in good health. Lundqvist isn’t going anywhere. Georgiev’s waivers-exempt status expired on Dec. 20, when he played the 60th game of his NHL career. And though Georgiev has been erratic over the last two weeks, while Lundqvist has hit some high notes but missed on others, the team’s goaltending is the least of its problems. Beyond that, there is no indication the Rangers have a trade in the works for Georgiev or that teams are beating down general manager’s door Jeff Gorton’s door for a shot at No. 40. And no, Lundqvist has not waived his no-move clause in the wake of this transaction. Be serious. Which means, unless Shesterkin unexpectedly proves unequal to the task, the Blueshirts will be stuck with a three-goaltender scenario under which it is practically impossible to keep them all sharp, let alone content. The potential impact on Lundqvist, who has started a career-low 22 first-half games (excluding the 2012-13 lockout season) is impossible to measure. see also Rangers call up highly touted goalie prospect Igor Shesterkin has arrived. The Rangers called up their 24-year-old... “The day-to-day approach for me doesn’t change,” said The King, ranked fifth in the NHL among qualifying goaltenders with 4.42 GSAx (goals saved above expectation) per Charting Hockey. “I can only control what I can control. “The big change, I’m going to say, was really two years ago when we decided as an organization to restart everything. It’s not the past week, yesterday or today, I just have to focus on my game, prepare and be ready when I play, but now it’s an opportunity for Igor. I can’t look too far ahead. “Having Igor in Hartford, and his situation with his deal and everything, you’re aware of the big picture for sure. But when and if and how, and all that, you can’t get too involved with that.” Davi
