New York faced the Lightning three times during the season and the Rangers won all three games. Shesterkin started all three games and he allowed one goal or less in two out of the three games and he did not allow more than three goals. He was excellent in the series against Carolina, allowing two goals or less in six out of seven games and he did not allow more than three goals in any of the seven games against the Hurricanes.
New York will carry momentum from the last three games they have played and they have had success against Tampa Bay and grab another win here at home on Friday night.
