Double winner of the Gagarin Cup Sergei Konkov named New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin top goaltender in the NHL.
This season, Shesterkin set a club record. On October 11, he helped the Rangers beat Buffalo (5:1); for Shesterkin, the victory became the 100th in the regular NHL championship; for this, the Russian needed 159 matches. No one in Rangers history has reached that mark faster than him.
—Everyone is talking about Shesterkin. This is a high-level goaltender by NHL standards. May he continue to set records and act in the same vein. “I will only be happy for him,” Konkov told RB Sport.
Shesterkin made his NHL debut in January 2020. At the end of the 2021/22 season, the Russian won the Vezina Trophy. As a member of the Russian national team, he won Olympic gold.
