With 4:48 to go, Igor Shesterkin denied Jason Zucker with his right pad to improve to 4-for-4 in his NHL career on penalty shots.
The Rangers bench erupted, including an emphatic fist pump by head coach Peter Laviolette, on the momentum-shifting play that reverberated Monday night through Madison Square Garden.“That save pumps the building up,” Laviolette said after the Rangers won for their second time in three games to open the season. “If it goes the other way, you have to go back to work, the game is now back to even, and you have to find a way.
Shesterkin — and Trouba with a couple of key blocked shots — also stood tall as the Rangers’ PK unit killed off two full minutes of five-on-three time bridging the final two periods.“It wasn’t easy, but we played our game and we won,” said Shesterkin, who had 26 saves. “I feel . But on the penalty shot, it’s more like mind games.”But having Shesterkin, the 2021-22 Vezina Trophy winner, as their defensive backbone definitely seems to provide the Rangers a mental edge.
