This season he is still preforming very well, but his godly numbers from last season have come back to earth.
On Friday night the Colorado Avalanche hosted the New York Rangers, in what could just possibly be a Stanley Cup finals preview, which ended with the Rangers winning 2-1 in overtime over the injury plagued Avalanche.
One of the biggest highlights of the game was a save Shesterkin made on Cale Makar, where he flashed the glove after. This extra little swagger by Shesterkin did not sit well with Makar, who called him out in a post-game interview:
«I mean he's their goalie is all about the show so, went straight in his glove and just, nice little windmill there»#Avs D Cale Makar on the save Igor Shesterkin made in him in OT. pic.twitter.com/N6RGmYxTC7� Jesse Montano (@jessemontano_) December 10, 2022
Both teams are currently fighting to hold onto their playoffs spots, and it will be interesting to see these two stars meet in a playoff round.
