The New York Rangers had no business winning tonight’s game against the Buffalo Sabres. None. But Igor Shesterkin decided they would win, and he simply stole two points for the Rangers tonight. There are very few who watched this game that would think otherwise. The Rangers came out flat for 20 minutes, with perhaps a flash of effort here and there. Meanwhile it was Shesterkin making multiple difficult saves to keep the game tied.
Luckily for the Rangers, they showed up in the third period after trading chances in the second. The big saves from Shesterkin still game, but the Rangers got a goal and found some effort.
