Rangers Secure Vital Win Over Stars With Shesterkin's Stellar 41-Save Performance

New York ends three-game losing streak as penalty kill and goaltending shine in 3-1 victory in Dallas.

Igor Shesterkin made 41 saves, including 23 during seven penalty kills, to lead the Rangers to a 3-1 win over the Dallas Stars.
The Rangers' penalty kill unit excelled, shutting down all seven Dallas power plays, including a critical five-minute major in the third period.
Reilly Smith scored a shorthanded goal, Vincent Trocheck added the game-winner, and Chris Kreider sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.
The win marked the Rangers' first back-to-back penalty-free games and ended a turbulent 4-11 stretch over their last 15 contests.
Matt Rempe, recently recalled from the AHL, made an impact but faces a potential suspension after receiving a game misconduct for an elbowing penalty.
