Goaltender Igor Shesterkin vs. Goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov
Igor Shesterkin has been an important player for the New York Rangers this season, posting an impressive save percentage of 0.913 in 55 games played this season and boasting 1467 saves and an excellent goals against average of 2.58 in 55 contests he played this year. His performance will be vital as Carolina attempts to close in on them again and his role becomes even more vital than before.
Pyotr Kochetkov has been an invaluable player for the Carolina Hurricanes this season. Despite appearing in only 42 games so far this year, Kochetkov boasts an impressive save percentage of 0.911. His challenge will be great against an up-tempo and precise Rangers offense, led by Artemi Panarin. Kochetkov will need agility and sharp reflexes at their finest to keep their hopes alive in Game 4. As recent setbacks erode Hurricanes chances, their goaltender’s performance under playoff pressure will be vital to keeping their hopes alive in Game 4.
Rangers’ Offensive Prowess
Artemi Panarin is so good that he created 49 goals and 71 assists both. When speaking of chemistry with his linemates, specifically Chris Kreider and Vince Trocheck, both who are also having phenomenal seasons, then the Rangers’ front line is one of the most lethal in the NHL. Being capable of profiting from a power play and shooting skills will assist them in winning the match against the Hurricanes.
Hurricanes’ Team Dynamics
Sebastian Aho, the Hurricanes’ leading marksman with 36 goals and 53 assists, also has almost the same impressive stats. Together with Seth Jarvis and Martin Necas, Aho are going to treble the Hurricane’s chances of success. But, they should put much effort to improve their game a lot better and beat Shesterkin’s defense particularly now that their performance is low.
