You weren’t actually worried about Igor Shesterkin, were you?
After all, the New York Rangers’ star goaltender has excelled at every level he’s played, and took home a slam-dunk Vezina Trophy last season after posting a record of 36-13-4 with an absurd .935 save percentage and a stingy 2.07 goals-against average. His unadjusted goals-saved-above-expected (GSAx) of 37.87 (per Evolving Hockey) also led the league.
Shesterkin’s 2021-22 season was historically good, so expecting a repeat of that this season would have been somewhat unreasonable. Indeed, Shesterkin has been good this season, but not great, and a rough patch coming out of the All-Star break might have generated some of that aforementioned worry.
