Russian goalkeeper New York Rangers Igor Shesterkin deserved the highest mark for his performance at the NHL All-Star Game, hockey agent Alexey Dementyev said.
The team of American forward “Toronto” Auston Matthews, for which Shesterkin played, defeated the team of forward “Edmonton” Connor McDavid and became the winner of the All-Star Game. The Russian played a period and stopped 7 out of 10 shots.
– That’s great – Igor deserves a standing ovation. Thank God the public appreciated the game of our goalkeeper.
Can Shesterkin be considered the best Russian goalie in the NHL today? For me, he has always been one of the best goalies in world hockey. Igor has excellent technique and the psychology of a winner. Shesterkin is always up for a challenge; he is a playoff goalie. This is a very rare quality for players in his role. He is ready to show results exactly when they expect them from him,” Dementiev told RT.
