Adds goaltending depth to NY system
Shaiikov was the 67th overall pick by the Rangers in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The Rangers had to address the goaltending position at some point in the draft, but taking an overage netminder in Shaiikov early in Round 3 was not the expected plan. The Kazakhstan native arrived in the QMJHL last season and posted an 18-26-2 record along with a 2.78 and .903 save percentage. Clearly, New York sees something in his game that they think he can work with. Shaiikov is expected to return as Gatineau's starter in the 2026-27 campaign.
