Igor Olegovich Shestyorkin (, born 30 December 1995), last name sometimes spelled Shesterkin, is a Russian professional ice hockey goaltender for the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Rangers in the fourth round, 118th overall, of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
==Playing career==
Shestyorkin played as a youth with Krylya Sovetov Moscow before he was selected by Spartak Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League, 43rd overall in the 2012 KHL Draft, as a 16-year old. He played his first season within Spartak, at the MHL level, featuring for MHK Spartak in the 2012–13 season.
Shestyorkin made his professional and KHL debut midway through the following 2013–14 season, recalled from MHK to close out the final 8 minutes for Spartak in relief of Alexei Ivanov in a 5–3 defeat to HC Ugra on 20 January 2014. He was given his first start three days later, allowing 2 goals in a 3–1 loss to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl on 23 January 2014. In his eighth appearance, Shestyorkin collected his first win, making 33 saves in a 3–0 shutout victory over HC Slovan Bratislava on 2 March 2014. Returning the MHL, Shestyorkin registered a 12–7 record in 19 playoff games, along with a 1.75 goals against averange and a .937 save percentage, and four shutouts to help MHK Spartak win the MHL Championship.
While out of contract from Spartak and showing strong potential, Shestyorkin signed a contract with perennial powerhouse SKA Saint Petersburg on 6 June 2014. As the fifth ranked goalie entering the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Shestyorkin was selected in the fourth round, 118th overall, by the New York Rangers on 28 June 2014.
On 3 May 2019, Shestyorkin signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the New York Rangers. Shestyorkin played in his first NHL preseason game on 21 September 2019, stopping 36 of 40 shots in a 4–1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. He was assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack, the Rangers' minor league affiliate team with the American Hockey League. Shestyorkin made his AHL debut during Hartford's 2019–20 season opener on 5 October 2019, during which he made 26 saves in a 5–3 win against the Charlotte Checkers. On 6 January 2020, the Rangers recalled Shestyorkin after having success for the Wolf Pack with whom he posted a 15–4–3 record and was named to the 2020 AHL All-Star Classic. In his NHL debut with the Rangers on 7 January, Shestyorkin made 29 saves in a 5–3 win against the Colorado Avalanche. Two days later, Shestyorkin became the sixth Rangers' goaltender to win his first two games with the team.
==International play==
Shestyorkin was a member of the Olympic Athletes from Russia team at the 2018 Winter Olympics. While capturing the gold medal, he did not see any action throughout the tournament as the nation's third goaltender.
Shestyorkin represented Russia and was one of top goaltenders at the following 2018 World Championships in Denmark. He finished with two victories — both shutouts — and a 1.46 goals against average and a .942 save percentage, both of which were the third-best at the event.
