The Rangers became the first team in the league to clinch a playoff spot after Tuesday’s win over the Flyers.
A large reason for their success in the second half of the season is goaltender Igor Shesterkin, who in his last 16 games has gone 12-3-1 with a .931 SV% and three shutouts. As we get closer to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the question now becomes: what’s the Rangers’ biggest strength heading into the spring?, Frank Seravalli and former NHL goaltender Carter Hutton discuss the Rangers’ playoff chances and how big of a factor Shesterkin is in their success.
I think the Rangers did a great job of getting him to the All-Star Game, then giving him some time off. Jonathan Quick started a few games out of the break, giving Shesterkin time to slow things down and work on his game. I think they’ll go as far as he can take them.
