Igor Shesterkin Is OUT For the Season... What's Next For the Rangers?

Oct 11, 2026 57 min

The Nashville Predators have acquired Jayden Struble from the Montreal Canadiens, but the bigger news around the league is the wave of injuries to key players. Igor Shesterkin is officially out for the remainder of the season with a lower‑body injury, a massive blow to the New York Rangers’ hopes of staying near the top of the Metro. The Ottawa Senators were hit as well, losing William Eklund for an extended period after he suffered an ankle injury on Friday night. Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Jets continue to surprise. They’re off to a strong start despite Connor Hellebuyck’s absence, which raises the question of whether the pressure is now shifting entirely onto him once he returns. On the other side of the spectrum, Evan Bouchard is on an unreal tear with 11 points in his first four games, and at this pace, the idea of him pushing toward the 100‑point mark isn’t far‑fetched. 🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥 🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL. 🔥 Follow Us on Social Media: ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/ ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind 📧 Email | checkfrombehindzcp@gmail.com JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/UNwkgua9v5 🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network 💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25\ (00:00) Introduction (01:39) Struble Traded (06:01) Shesterkin Out For Season (14:48) Eklund to Miss Time (21:18) Jets Good Start (39:39) Bouchard Insane Start (57:09) Outro Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
