Athletistic/Hockey. Legendary Swedish goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who currently holds a position at New York Rangers headquarters, spoke about Russian Igor Shesterkin.

“In our organization they know very well how good he is and how much we appreciate him. Igor came ready. In Russia he showed a level comparable to mine. It was important to find a person who would help him adapt, it’s very Benoit Aller, goalkeeping coach, played a big role in that, as the results show,” said Lundqvist.

Igor Shesterkin was recognized last season as the best goaltender in the NHL.
