Home winning streak “Carolina” ended at the most inopportune moment. For the first time in the current Stanley Cup, the Hurricanes lost, and it happened in Game 7. Additionally, the Carolinas lost the series deciding game for the first time in history. Before that, in similar cases, they had won six times.
key to victory Rangers the keeper played again Igor Shesterkin. He saved 37 of 39 shots and was named the game’s first star.
But this time, the New Yorkers’ attack also broke out. Six goals scored in one game. It’s just one less than in the previous six matches.
The guests got off to a great start, scoring two power play goals in the first eight minutes.
And midway through the second period, Carolina’s primary goalie cracked Antti Raanta. Substitute Petr Kochetkov after 42 seconds got the third puck.
When Chris Kreider made it 4-0 early in the third period, the game was over.
After the game, the Rangers striker praised his keeper:
“Obviously a good start helped us, today the performance of the special teams played an important role, and our goalkeeper was the best player again.”
Foreign experts after today’s game again began to talk about the fact that Shesterkin is the best goalkeeper in the world, although he himself considers Vasilevsky the best.
Which of the Russian goalkeepers is actually the best, we’ll find out in the Eastern Conference final. The Rangers were there for the first time since 2015. Like seven years ago, Tampa will once again become a rival.
Last time out, the New Yorkers lost in seven games, but for the current Rangers, that means nothing. The first game will take place Thursday night in New York.
