ST. PAUL, Minn. – Igor Shesterkin admitted after Sunday’s 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets in the opener of the four-game road trip, that, as much as he likes facing a lot of shots, he was tired that night, after facing 46 of them.
But the 26-year-old said he is not about to walk into coach Gerard Gallant’s office and ask him for a day off.
"If I need to play every night, I will do this,’’ Shesterkin said. "So you need to ask our coach. My job is, I need to stop the pucks and try to help my teammates.
