The New York Rangers have secured their star goaltender Igor Shesterkin with a historic eight-year contract extension reportedly worth $92 million, making him the highest-paid goalie in NHL history. This deal surpasses Carey Price’s 2017 contract with Montreal, cementing Shesterkin’s elite status. The 28-year-old has been a cornerstone for the Rangers since debuting in 2020, with a stellar record of 144-68-18, a 2.47 goals-against average, and a .920 save percentage.
A Vezina Trophy winner in 2021-22, Shesterkin has led the Rangers to the Eastern Conference final twice. The extension marks another major move by GM Chris Drury, following the trade of Jacob Trouba and the signing of Alexis Lafrenière, as the team continues to build for sustained success.new
