<h2 id="99ul9">Is Goaltending the Key to Victory?</h2>
<p>The goalie matchup on Tuesday night features Igor Shesterkin for New York and Pyotr Kochetkov for Carolina. These two have had very different paths in the NHL this season.</p>
<p>Shesterkin is 36-12-4 this year with a goals against average of 2.03. He has recorded 6 shutouts thus far, including 2 in his last 3 starts.</p>
<p>He has been solid for New York, helping them clinch a playoff spot and compete in the tough Metropolitan Division.</p>
<p>Kochetkov, on the other hand, just made his NHL debut for Carolina on Saturday night in New Jersey. He helped his team rally and stay alive for a 3-2 overtime win against the Devils.</p>
<p>Kochetkov has played the last two games for the Hurricanes due to an undisclosed injury for starter Frederik Anderson and an injury sustained by backup goaltender Antti Raanta. He has been sharp, stopping 24 out of 27 shots on net. </p>
<p>Though he did not start in his second appearance, Kochetkov did earn his second career win and holds a 2-0-0 record this season. He will need to stay sharp against a hungry Rangers team that is looking to win their first division title since 2015.</p>
<p>Expect a defensive performance with low scoring if the goaltenders are on point. It would not shock me to see this game decided by one goal and possibly go into overtime.</p>
