Igor Shesterkin vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy: Inside the Stanley Cup playoffs' ultimate goalie showdown

NEW YORK -- The Eastern Conference finals showdown pitting Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers against Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Tampa Bay Lightning is a matchup between what many believe are the two best goalies in the world.

Who's the best? Shesterkin humbly concedes that it's not him. At least not yet.

"He's the best goalie in the world right now," the Rangers netminder said. "I think it'll be a good battle."

Vasilevskiy is the more accomplished of the two. He led the Lightning to back-to-back Stanley Cups and won playoff MVP honors last postseason.
