Igor Shesterkin Gets Clipped by a Stars' Player and Falls Hard (VIDEO)
Ty Dellandrea was skating by the NY Rangers' goal crease when his skate clipped the leg of Igor Shesterkin and sent the Blueshirts' prized tender to the ice. The immediate concern - his head snapping back and hitting the ice - was assuaged fairly quickly, but Shesterkin was visibly in some discomfort.
Dellandrea received two minutes for tripping - served by Wyatt Johnston - and another two minutes for roughing Artemi Panarin, who jumped in at the defense of his goaltender. He would receive a matching minor.
As E.J. Hradek of the NHL Network's broadcast team points out, Shesterkin was outside the blue paint, but Dellandrea still did not make a worthy enough effort to avoid the Rangers' goalie.
Shesterkin stayed in the game, so there was no injury on the play. The question has to be asked: did Igor sell the call or was he really affected after the fact?
He has done it before, after all...
