No other netminder has recorded 100 wins as a Ranger — debuting with the club or at any point in their career — in fewer than 187 games up until this point.
“That’s pretty amazing, that’s impressive,” head coach Peter Laviolette said of Shesterkin’s accomplishment after practice on Friday at the OhioHealth Ice Haus. “You can see it though. You can see the way he practices, the way he prepares himself, his professionalism. We showed some clips in there today, there was a save he made, player gets to the top of the circle and just let a wicked wrister. He was labeled to the far side.
Laviolette declined to divulge his starting goalie for the Saturday night matchup with the Blue Jackets, noting that he still had conversations to have with the rest of his coaching staff on the decision.Forward Jimmy Vesey and defenseman Zac Jones, who were both scratched in the season opener, rotated in. Though Vesey saw some more time than usual on the right wing of the fourth line, while Tyler Pitlick, who occupied that spot on Thursday, took some reps on the extra D pair with Jones.
