Igor Shesterkin’s poor stretch continues in Rangers’ ugly loss to Islanders
NY Post
Igor Shesterkin opened the season looking the part of the league’s highest-paid goaltender.
For nearly three weeks, he’s largely been living on reputation.
While the offense again gave the Rangers no chance of pulling out their first home win of the season, the star goaltender couldn’t match his close friend, Ilya Sorokin, in the Islanders’ 5-0 win at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
In the first six games of the season, Shesterkin allowed seven goals in six games.
In the six games since then, the former Vezina Trophy winner has allowed 22 goals.
While backup Jonathan Quick has been superb in four starts (3-1, 1.26 goals against average), Shesterkin has won just two starts since picking up a pair of wins in the opening week of the season.
