What is the difference between New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes? The fact that there are no hurricanes Igor Shesterkin. The Blueshirts’ Russian goalkeeper put on another excellent game, helping the New Yorkers level the score (2-2) and mark a turning point in the series.
“Yes, there is absolutely nothing to be surprised about. That’s how Igor has been playing since the beginning of the season.”– said proudly Rangers head coach Gerard Gallan after the victory in the fourth match (4:1) and there is something to be really proud of.
Shesterkin saved 30 of 31 shots (96.8%), not letting Brett Pesce and Teuvo Teräväinen seize the right opportunities, completely “pumping” the energy of the Carolina offensive, which scored almost 3.5 goals per game in the regular season.
Another highlight of Game 4 was the struggle of the Rangers defender. Jacob Pipe and Hurricanes center Stephen Lorenz, as well as Truba’s counterforce Max Domithis was before the war. The pipe was literally “sprayed to atoms” by Domi, and at the end of this series, active hostilities are now possible.
“You guys are paying close attention to this. It’s nothing special.”– Truba dismissed the journalists’ question after the match.
Overall, Rangers took good care of the opportunities created and the key to victory was two goals scored two minutes apart in the middle of the first period. The hosts scored first. Frank Vatranoand a little later the defender scored his fourth goal in the playoffs Man Foxand this disc was the winner.
Artemy Panarin he was silent again, but unlike the previous matches, he won “+2” and made 3 shots on the target. Rangers fans continue to wonder why Khlebushek didn’t make the playoffs the way everyone expected, but so far the Blueshirts haven’t had much of an issue with that. And Artemy should thank Shesterkin, who acted as efficiently as possible, making up for the shortcomings of the strikers with his game.
