February 13-On Monday night, the host New York Rangers held off the Calgary Flames 2-0 thanks to a shutout performance of 30 saves by Igor Shesterkin, who outperformed Jacob Markstrom.
The Rangers played just enough in a hard game with outstanding goaltending to extend their winning streak to five games, thanks in large part to Shesterkin. Shesterkin was named the first star of the game after recording his 12th shutout of the regular season.
In the second period, rookie Will Cuylle scored, and in the closing seconds, Jimmy Vesey added an empty-net goal.
With 29 saves, Markstrom gave the Flames many opportunities to increase their winning streak to a season-high five games and their winning streak on the road to six.
