The goaltender joins Edmonton’s Connor McDavid and Toronto’s Auston Matthews as finalists for the Hart Trophy as league MVP.
Igor Shesterkin officially has a chance to become the Hart of the NHL.
Shesterkin, who led the NHL in goals-against average and save percentage during the regular season, would become the first Rangers goalie to win the award since Chuck Rayner in 1950 and just the fifth player in franchise history to be so honored. Mark Messier was the team’s most recent winner in 1992, with goalie Henrik Lundqvist a finalist in 2012.
“He’s got my vote, if that counts for anything. It’s a wealth of riches, over the course of my time here, we’ve been lucky enough to have pretty dominant goaltending, so it’s what I’m used to at this point. But this season has been otherworldly, and he’s been amazing as a teammate and as a competitor and as a person. We’re really lucky to have him.”
The 26-year-old Shesterkin, also the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie, wasn’t made available to the media after Thursday’s practice. He stopped 29 shots in a 5-3 win the previous night at the Garden to force Game 6 on Friday in Pittsburgh, where he was pulled in each of the Rangers’ previous two losses.
