Igor Shesterkin Makes 42 Saves In Victory
5 years agoNew York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin picked up his fifth career victory in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Kings, as the 24-year-old stopped 42-of-43 shots on goal in the contest. Shesterkin was perfect through the first two periods until newly-acquired Kings forward Trevor Moore found the back of the net midway through the third frame — cutting the deficit in half and snapping the shutout. Shesterkin's first season in the American Hockey League resulted in a dominant 17-4-3 record, 1.90 goals against average and .934 save percentage to go along with three shutouts, and the rookie has carried that momentum over to the National Hockey League with a 5-1-0 record, 2.34 goals against average and .933 save percentage through six appearances with the Rangers. Shesterkin should be owned in standard re-draft formats despite the team carrying three healthy goaltenders, while the 24-year-old is a must-own player in dynasty leagues with his potential upside for years to come.
