Igor Shesterkin could have the evening off in Montreal, however the reigning Vezina winner obtained one other award in what has been a career stuffed with them to this level.
Shesterkin was chosen to take part in the 2023 NHL All-Star Game on February 4 in Sunrise, Florida. It’s the first all-star choice for Shesterkin in his career and the seventh time in Rangers historical past {that a} goaltender participated in the All-Star Game.
The reigning Vezina winner has totaled an 18-6-5 document with a 2.43 goals-against common and a .917 save proportion. He’s 8-2-2 in his final 12 video games. “Shesty” has compiled an NHL-high 1754:10 of time on ice. Within the NHL, Shesterkin ranks tied for third in wins, seventh in goals-against common, and in save proportion (min. 20 GP).
At 27 years previous, the Russian netminder has appeared in 129 video games over components of 4 seasons with the Rangers, compiling an 80-35-12 document with a 2.34 goals-against common and .926 save proportion.
