Igor Shesterkin has been Rangers’ biggest difference-maker
NY Post
RALEIGH, N.C. — There are a lot of reasons the Rangers take a commanding 3-0 second-round series lead into Saturday night’s Game 4 against the Hurricanes, one win away from reaching the Eastern Conference final.
There are 99 of them, to be exact.
That’s how many saves Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin has made in the past two games — on 104 Carolina shots.
The Rangers’ penalty kill and power play have dominated the Hurricanes.
Their star players have made the biggest plays in the biggest moments — most recently highlighted by Artemi Panarin’s work-of-art, between-the-legs redirect on the game-winning goal in overtime Thursday night.
But no star has shined more consistently brightly throughout the first seven games of these Stanley Cup playoffs — all wins — than Shesterkin.
