The Rangers’ success last season was largely in part to Vezina Trophy Award winner Igor Shesterkin.

In order for the Blueshirts to make another deep playoff run — following a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals last season — they need the dominant Shesterkin.

Unfortunately, that has not been the case for most of the season.

However, after back-to-back exciting road wins, and stepping up for the Rangers’ sloppy defensive play, it seems like Shesterkin is getting back to that form.

The timing couldn’t be better.

On the latest episode of the Up in the Blue Seats Podcast, Andrew Harts and Mollie Walker talk about how Shesterkin is finding his groove from last season.

They also discuss when Ryan Lindgren might be returning to the ice for the Rangers and are later joined by Hall of Fame writer Larry Brooks.
