With the 2021-22 regular season on the verge of conclusion, the New York Rangers have announced their team awards for the year. After Chris Kreider was appropriately recognized for his great season on and off the ice with the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award and the inaugural Rod Gilbert “Mr. Ranger” Award on back-to-back nights, some additional members of the team have received deserved recognition for their seasons.
Shesterkin Named Team MVP
Igor Shesterkin, unsurprisingly, has been named the Team MVP for 2021-22.
The 26-year-old netminder has had a season for the ages and appears to be the favorite to win this year’s Vezina Trophy for best goaltender in the league, and might even get some Hart Trophy (league MVP) consideration as well.
