After a stellar performance against the Red Wings on Monday night by Igor Shesterkin, Derek Lalonde is confident that the super star goalie deserves a big pay day.

Despite the 2024-25 season being underway, the New York Rangers will still try and sign Igor Shesterkin to a huge extension.

Zibanejad had only one shot on goal through the first two Rangers games. He doubled that in the first period and finished the game with five shots. One came on an empty net, giving him his first goal of the year, and he also had a pair of primary assists.

Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde dropped an eye-catching take about Igor Shesterkin's contract following a loss to the Rangers.

Igor Shesterkin made 31 saves, Mika Zibanejad had a goal and two assists and the New York Rangers defeated the visiting Detroit Red Wings 4-1 on Monday night.

In the end, the Red Wings (1-2-0) couldn't get more than a single goal past Shesterkin, which made each and every one of the four they gave up too many. That's the way it goes against such an elite netminder, but pinning all the credit to a hot goalie ignores Detroit's own misfires throughout the 4-1 loss.

New York Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin was the difference with 31 saves, as the Rangers defeated the Red Wings 4-1.
