Larry Brooks of the New York Post: With Shesterkin’s opt-out clause looming, Jeff Gorton and New York had to do something. So, naturally, the talented Russian goaltender who has dominated every level was called up. He has dazzled early on facing high-shot counts which is a staple with this Rangers team.
Now, the question boils down to the fallout. What is going to eventually happen in New York? Currently, they are juggling three goaltenders and Henrik Lundqvist has not played since a January 2nd loss in Calgary. Also, Lundqvist is not waiving his no-trade clause anytime soon.
