“The Rangers" defeated "Pittsburgh" on the road in the regular season NHL match - 6:0. Russian goaltender Igor Shesterkin deflected all 29 shots.
The club from New York for the first time in 67 years held a dry match in the opening game of the season. The last time this result was set on October 12, 1956, when Gump Worsley stood in the" Rangers" goal in a match against "Chicago".
In the history of the "Rangers", Shestyorkin became the fifth goalie who played a dry game at the start of the season. In addition to Worsley, John Ross Roach (1928 and 1930), Dave Kerr (1937) and Hal Winkler (1926) had such a result.
