Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin bounced back from a rough start and backstopped his team to a 5-4 shootout victory.
The rest of the team’s play in front of him didn’t do Shesterkin any favors in the first period, but a couple of his delayed reactions cost the Rangers as they fell behind 4-1. Shesterkin said he wasn’t sure if Gerard Gallant was going to take him out or not, but the Rangers head coach ultimately left his No. 1 goalie in the game.
Igor Shesterkin makes a save on Derek Ryan during the shootout of the Rangers’ 5-4 win over the Oilers.After he gave up four goals on 12 shots in the first period, Shesterkin finished with 25 saves on 29 shots, including key saves in the shootout against Connor McDavid, Tyson Barrie, Derek Ryan and Kailer Yamamoto.
Gallant and director of goaltending Benoit Allaire were in a tough spot when it came to deciding whether or not to pull Shesterkin in favor of Jaroslav Halak, who has been on his game lately and has gone 7-0 in his past seven appearances. The Rangers are playing Saturday night in Calgary, so it was a difficult decision, when taking into consideration the competition, Shesterkin’s confidence and what was best for the team.
Oilers star Connor McDavid reached the 100-point mark for the season in his 56th game. It was the sixth time in his eight-season NHL career with at least 100 points, and the third consecutive season.
