Arvid Söderblom vs. Igor Shesterkin
It’s a battle of the blue paint tonight, as the Blackhawks’ Arvid Söderblom takes on the Rangers’ Igor Shesterkin. Söderblom, stepping in for the injured Petr Mrazek, has quietly posted solid stats this season. A 2.60 GAA and .915 save percentage might not scream “struggling netminder,” but his 1-6-1 record says otherwise. Still, the rookie hasn’t given up more than three goals in any game, keeping Chicago in the fight despite their defensive woes.
On the flip side, Shesterkin looks to shake off a rocky November. After a rough 2-7-0 stretch, the newly extended $92-million man seems back on track, stopping 20 of 22 shots in his latest outing. Can he keep the momentum rolling? Expect fireworks as these two go head-to-head!
The Rangers emerged as the victor in the season series between the two teams last season, with a 1-0 record. The Rangers went 2-0-2 against the puck line in these matchups.
Both goalies are unconfirmed as of this time, but we think they’ll be in since more than a couple outlets are reporting them in.
