NYR Goalie Igor Shesterkin started in all four meetings against the Pens during the season and he held them to two goals or less in each of the four matchups. He had a record of 3-1-0 with a 1.01 GAA and .960 SV% in four starts against Pittsburgh this season.

Shesterkin was stellar at home this season, having a 21-6-3 record with a 1.85 GAA and .940 SV% in 29 games started and 30 games played at home this season. He just gave up 4 goals on Tuesday so I expect him to be better tonight.

With the Penguins on their third goaltender and banged up, New York will bounce back and win game two at MSG Thursday night.
