Igor Shesterkin wants to forget about last season.
Winning the Vezina Trophy, finishing in the top three for the Hart Trophy and backstopping the New York Rangers to Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final is in the rearview mirror. It’s a new season, and one that hasn’t gone the way the Russian netminder has wanted it to.
The historic season Shesterkin pieced together in 2021-22 was always going to be a daunting expectation to live up to. Not only was he the front-runner for the top goalie award for much of the season, but his NHL-leading 2.09 goals-against average and his .935 save percentage was the third-best all time among goalies to play in at least 50 games. The Rangers wouldn’t have had the success they did without him, especially with the way he carried them through a turbulent start to the season.
Still, Shesterkin gives the Rangers a chance to win every night — he just hasn’t been doing it all by himself as of late. The 26-year-old noted that he has spent a lot of time watching film with Benoit Allaire, the Rangers director of goaltending. The two have identified areas Shesterkin needs to work on and have made that the focus of every practice. Shesterkin looked particularly strong in the Rangers’ 5-1 win over the Golden Knights on Wednesday, when he stopped 25 of the 26 shots he faced and gave up just one goal or less for the fifth time this season.
