Escapes Montreal with shootout win Shesterkin stopped 23 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact The two teams traded goals through two periods before a scoreless third, but the Rangers never led until Mika Zibanejad put home the only successful attempt in the shootout. Shesterkin has three wins in his last four starts and is now two victories shy of his second straight 30-win campaign, but his performance has been shaky lately -- since the All-Star break, the 27-year-old netminder has a 3.45 GAA and .870 save percentage despite a 7-3-0 record.

Shesterkin will face the Canadiens, who are fifth-worst in the NHL in scoring, averaging 2.69 goals for this season.

Gets 27th win Shesterkin made 25 saves in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

Impact The Rangers dressed only 11 forwards and five defensemen in front of Shesterkin with trade acquisition Patrick Kane yet to arrive up front and two regular blueliners unavailable. New York's depleted roster was seemingly saving its energy over the first two periods en route to a 2-1 deficit, but the Rangers carried play in the third period and overtime, leading to a second consecutive win for Shesterkin. The star netminder -- who improved to 27-10-7 -- will likely get the night off Thursday when the Rangers host the Senators, though the Madison Square Garden crowd will still have plenty to cheer about with Kane expected to make his Rangers debut.

Solid in win Shesterkin stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 5-2 win over the Kings on Sunday.

Capitals beat Rangers to end skid, hand NY 4th straight loss

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gets hook against Caps Shesterkin stopped 17 of 22 shots before being replaced by Jaroslav Halak to begin the third period of Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact The Rangers completely fell apart in the second period, allowing four unanswered goals largely due to some lackadaisical defense and one really poor line change, and Shesherkin was lifted in a desperate attempt to flip the game's momentum. While he couldn't be faulted on any of the pucks that beat him Saturday, the Rangers may be leaning too much on their all-world goalie to bail them out -- Shesterkin's given up at least four goals in four straight starts and hasn't allowed fewer than three in seven straight, leaving him with a lackluster 2.67 GAA and .909 save percentage on the season.

The 27-year-old netminder will look to get back on track against a Capitals team that's lost six consecutive games. Shesterkin is 25-9-7 this season with a .912 save percentage.
