2025 Fantasy Outlook
The only area Shesterkin was at his best in 2024-25 was in games played -- he saw action in 61 contests but went 27-29-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .905 save percentage. It was the first time he missed the 30-win mark in four years and the ratios were career-worsts for the netminder. Still, the Rangers know elite goalies don't grow on trees, which is why they signed him to an eight-year deal at an $11.5 million annual cap hit, which kicks in for 2025-26. Shesterkin was hardly the only problem with last year's Rangers, but he'll need to improve his numbers to help the team get back on track. Shesterkin has the track record to be an elite fantasy goalie, and even a down year didn't look that bad on paper. Any draft-day discount will be slight, but don't hesitate to roster the 29-year-old this season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed an eight-year, $92 million contract extension with the Rangers in December of 2024.
Starting again Thursday
Shesterkin will defend the road crease against the Sabres on Thursday, Jim Cerny of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shesterkin drew the Opening Night start against the Penguins on Tuesday, and he turned aside 27 of 28 shots but didn't get any offensive help from the Rangers in the loss. He'll have another opportunity to pick up his first win of the 2025-26 campaign during Thursday's road matchup.

Sure-thing Shesterkin is one of the few guarantees in fantasy. He's consistent, night in and night out and he delivers elite results in every category. Plus, Shesterkin is a beast in the postseason. He's likely the sole reason the Rangers went as far as they did in the 2022 and 2024 playoffs. Heading into 2024-25, there's plenty of chatter about a contract extension, and the financial challenge that comes with it. Shesterkin wants max money and that will make him the highest-paid netminder in the NHL. So, cap-league managers have one more year to get real value from his current deal. Don't stress if negotiations drag into the season - they won't impact his stats. Shesterkin is a potential first-round fantasy pick if you believe in building from the net out and he won't last long after the turn if you wait.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely starting Monday
Shesterkin was present for the Rangers' morning skate Monday, signaling that he'll likely draw the start in the team's preseason game on the road against the Islanders, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shesterkin had a bit of a down year during the 2024-25 campaign, going 27-29-5 with a 2.86 GAA and .905 save percentage, all of which were worse than his previous three seasons. However, he should still serve as the Rangers' No. 1 netminder during the 2025-26 season, and he'll presumably have the opportunity to see plenty of playing time, as he's made at least 53 regular-season appearances in each of the last four campaigns.
