The New York Rangers picked up their third straight win over the Pittsburgh Penguins this evening by a score of 3-0, and the Penguins weren’t too pleased. New York put together another masterful performance on the defensive side of the puck, and kept Pittsburgh off of the scoreboard. Of course, Igor Shesterkin also played a large part in the shutout victory as he turned aside all 30 shots he faced throughout the evening.
