SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers peppered Igor Shesterkin with shot after shot Tuesday night, and the New York Rangers goalie had an answer for almost all of them.
It wasn't enough, and despite 37 saves and another stellar performance from Shesterkin, the Rangers fell 3-2 in overtime of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final.
With the teams knotted at two wins apiece, the series will head back to New York for Game 5, with the Rangers needing to find some answers to complement the play of their goaltender, who Rangers coach Peter Laviolette praised after the loss.
“He was (dialed in)," Laviolette said, “especially in the second, there was a lot of heat there.”
