Igor Shesterkin made 37 saves to lead the New York Rangers to their first victory of the 2025-26 season, a 4-0 shutout on the road against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center on Thurday.
It was Shesterkin’s 22nd shutout in the NHL, and first against the Sabres. He tied for the League lead with six shutouts last season.
“It’s very good feeling to get the win,” Shesterkin said postgame. “Our players played so good in front of me.”
The owner of the richest contract for a goalie in NHL history, proved his worth already in the first two games this season.
