Igor Shesterkin and Alexandar Georgiev combined for 28 saves and the New York Rangers defeated the visiting San Jose Sharks 1-0 on Friday night for their season-high fifth straight win.
Shesterkin started the game and was helped off the ice at 5:08 of the third period with an apparent right leg injury after making a save and diving on the rebound during a scrum in front of the net. He appeared unable to put weight on his right leg.
Shesterkin made 19 saves before he left. Georgiev came on to save all nine shots he faced to complete the combined shutout.
Ryan Strome scored the only goal of the game for New York. He has points in nine of his past 10 games.
Sharks goalie Adin Hill was stellar as well, stopping 26 of 27 shots. San Jose saw its three-game winning streak end. The Sharks have allowed just four goals in the first four games of a five-game road trip.
Strome gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead at 6:03 of the first period on a power play when he took a pass from Adam Fox, skated into the right circle and scored on a slap shot.
New York was 1-for-3 on the power play. San Jose was 0-for-2.
With 1:41 left in the second period Kevin Labanc got to a loose puck and came in alone, but Shesterkin got a piece of the shot. Then, with 57 seconds remaining, the goalie made a strong save on Nick Bonino's backhander from the slot.
Hill kept the Sharks' deficit at 1-0 when he made a sparkling save on Dryden Hunt's tip-in attempt at 6:45 of the third period. Hill then stopped Strome on a good opportunity at 15:49.
The Rangers were able to keep the puck in the Sharks' end late in the period and San Jose was unable to get Hill off for the extra attacker until about 50 seconds remained.
