Igor Shesterkin backstops Rangers’ revenge win over Maple Leafs

TORONTO — This was a much different game and a much different Rangers team than the Maple Leafs saw just a week ago in New York.

Instead of open ice, free lanes and an easy first period, the Maple Leafs got hard puck battles, little room to work with and a top-notch opposing goaltender in the Blueshirts’ 5-2 victory Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena.

The win extended the Rangers’ streak to three games, and was the fourth in their last five games.

Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin, who gave up six goals on 29 shots in the meeting with Toronto last week at the Garden, rebounded in rather convincing fashion in the rematch Tuesday night.

With 16 saves in the second period alone en route to 31 on the night, Shesterkin came up big in big moments and fared much better against the Maple Leafs’ star players than he did last week.
