Having just won the Vezina as the NHL’s best goalie which you can read about here, Shesterkin was then waiting to hear the results of his other nomination, the Hart Trophy awarded to the League’s MVP. Simply put his nomination for this award speaks volumes of the dominant season Shesterkin had, but ultimately although well deserved, he fell short of winning the Hart this year.
The NHL has announced that Shesterkin was third in the race for the Hart Trophy. The Rangers’ goaltender picked up 24 first-place votes, 26 second-place votes, 41 third-place votes, and 738 points in total to finish behind Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid.
