Daily News | Flyers lose 1-0 to the Rangers in overtime battle between goalies Carter Hart, Igor Shesterkin
That led to even more tired legs, which led to longer defensive shifts, which led tired them out even more. While they played well in the third, the wear showed in overtime when Kreider outraced Konecny, Provorov, and Kevin Hayes for the breakaway.
Hart once again faced a much heavier load than his counterpart did. In the second period alone, he faced 14 shots to Shesterkin’s four. Hart finished the night with 35 saves on 36 shots. Late in the second, when the Rangers were pressuring, Joel Farabee got in the way of a player crashing while Hart wasn’t looking. The Flyers went on the power play shortly after but gave up numerous shorthanded chances. Hart was saved on Kreider’s shot by the goalpost.
“[Hart’s] obviously the big reason we got the point, in my opinion, and a couple of big posts there,” DeAngelo said. “We need to rely on him less.”With a 12th-best power play percentage of 23.7 percent, the Rangers power play was ranked above the Tampa Bay Lightning unit that beat up the Flyers earlier in the season.
