Last year was a mixed bag for New York Rangers All-Star goaltender Igor Shesterkin. After struggling for much of the first half of the season, Shesterkin, 27, finished the regular season with a record of 37-13-0-8 with a 2.48 goals-against average, a .916 save percentage, and three shutouts. This was a far cry from the […]
