The entire New York Rangers world stopped for a few minutes midway through the first period when Igor Shesterkin went down with what looked like a serious injury. The entire New York Rangers world breathed a sigh of relief when Shesterkin shook it off and continued to play even through he had to leave for a time to undergo the league mandated concussion protocol.
Shesterkin made 42 saves, becoming the first goalie in NHL history to have three 40 save wins in his first seven games. He is now 6-1, winning his first road start. This young man is for real.
