Rangers Star Offers A Good Reason For The Win Last Night

The Rangers will go as far as Igor Shesterkin will take them. Tuesday night's 1-0 win over the Hurricanes was just the latest reminder of Shesterkin's brilliance, posting his second straight shutout with 28 saves to give the first-place Rangers a six-point cushion on Carolina in the Metropolitan Division standings.

In his last 10 games (since Feb. 12), Shesterkin has posted a 8-1-1 record, 1.50 GAA, .956 save percentage, and three shutouts. He has allowed one or fewer goals in seven of his last 10 contests.

Shesterkin shut down a Hurricanes team that had outscored their last three opponents 15-5.
