Rangers striker Ryan Stroom commented on the game of team goalkeeper Alexander Georgiev, who replaced the injured Igor Shesterkin in the NHL regular season match with San Jose Sharks (1: 0).
In the third period, Shesterkin was forced to leave the ice due to injury.
– Georgiev is a good goalkeeper, he was waiting for his chance. Today he entered the game and brought the matter to victory. Hopefully tomorrow he can do it again. In today's match, we managed to do what good teams usually do. We have shown an example of how to act in such situations. I liked how we played in the third period. We sacrifice ourselves, lie down under the throws, do the right thing on the ice and in the end we achieve victories, – the official website of the NHL quotes Strohm as saying.
Shesterkin saved 19 shots, Georgiev – 9.
The Rangers have secured their fifth consecutive victory in the regular season.
