Rangers’ Defense Crumbles in Heartbreaking Overtime Loss to Utah: Shesterkin’s Struggle Highlighted

Shesterkin missed a lot, the Rangers played terrible defense.

Last season, Rangers’ excellent attack often caused chaos in front of goal, leading to good results. In the first home game of this season, chaos reigned in the possession of Igor Shesterkin, and Utah was able to bring home the victory from the famous Madison. The New Yorkers spent most of the game grinding in and establishing game ties, while the defense was a complete mess.

The teams organized a real shootout, responding with goals to each other’s goals. The mood of the Rangers game was completely different than it was after the first win against Pittsburgh, when the Blueshirts crushed their opponent 6:0. This time Igor Shesterkin he couldn’t do much to help his team (20 saves after 26 shots).

The first period was very attractive. Barrett Hayton they took advantage of a situational misunderstanding on the part of the two newly formed defenders Braden Schneiderand Trumpet Jacob and slow backup Alexis Lafrenia for an easy goal. Rangers equalized less than five minutes later with their first goal of the season. Artemy PanarinaTossed madly from the hills. But that was nothing compared to what happened in the middle 20 minutes.

The second period had a little bit of everything – crazy kicking, controversial decisions, a brutal brawl or two that brought the Madison crowd to its feet and left at least one participant bleeding.

The teams scored seven goals in 16 minutes, including Panarin’s second goal of the night and a goal that was hard to explain. K’Andre Millerwho tried to move the puck on the boards, but somehow it ricocheted and hit the Utah goal.

Miller’s wonder goal cut the Rangers’ deficit to 3-4, but it was quickly followed by a series of dismissals. It all started with a fight between one of the newly arrived Blueshirts. Sam CarrickAnd Michael Kesselringbut soon their fight was reduced to the shadow of a fight between a new man Adam Edström And Jack MacBean.

Edström celebrated his 24th birthday by sending a series of powerful blows to the head of the Utah center, proving that Matt Rempe he’s not the only rookie on the team who knows how to fight. However, the fight turned out to be expensive. Because they dropped the gloves after Carrick and Kesselring had already started exchanging blows, Edström and McBain were sent off for the rest of the game.

This ended in overtime, where Clayton Keller scored a double and gave Utah a somewhat unexpected victory (5:6 OT). Keller’s direct throw from the spot surprised Shesterkin, who was left to the mercy of fate in this episode.

“We created good chances, but we have to keep the puck out of our own net. We need to help our goalkeeper better. Two games have passed and Igor is still making amazing saves, keeping us in the game. All because we don’t help it. “the Rangers admitted Chris Crider.
