When he earned the shutout in the Rangers’ 4-0 win over the Boston Bruins Saturday, Keith Kinkaid didn’t mind admitting how sweet it felt.
"It's definitely very rewarding,’’ Kinkaid said of his eighth career shutout, and first since Nov. 15, 2018.
Kinkaid, the Farmingville native, had been on the Rangers’ taxi squad all season until Igor Shesterkin suffered a groin injury in New Jersey last Saturday. Kinkaid was called up to the active roster the next night to back up Alexandar Georgiev in Pittsburgh and was called on to play after Georgiev was pulled when he gave up three goals in 61 seconds late in the first period.
