The Rangers are riding the red-hot Czar of NY, Igor Shesterkin. As the final buzzer went off, New York find themselves just 4 points out of the last wild card spot. If the Islanders go on to beat Detroit then it will be 5.
From Russia with Glove
Igor Shesterkin has now improved his record to 8-1 on the season and the Rangers up their record to 32-24-4. From the onset the Rangers new number 1 was big in net and set the tone that beating him would take an extraordinary effort. The Canes would find the back of the net twice, once off a lucky bounce, but it was a series of early saves that was topped by an amazing glove snatch off a deflection that would foreshadow Carolina’s fate.
