PHILADELPHIA — Even with the chaos the Philadelphia Flyers are going through right now, it couldn’t have been an easy call for Rangers coach Gerard Gallant to start backup goaltender Jaroslav Halak on Saturday night instead of Igor Shesterkin.
Not with Halak’s 1-6-1 record coming in.
“I think he's been good,’’ Gallant said at the morning skate. “He's had a couple hiccups with a couple of bad goals, but overall, he's played pretty solid hockey for us for the most part. … We're in business of winning hockey games and Shesty's played really well. But we’ve got back-to-back games and [Halak’s] obviously going to play one of the next two.’’
