GREENBURGH, N.Y. _ Back to practice after Monday's day off, Rangers coach David Quinn hinted that he and his staff made some decisions Monday regarding their plan for how to use their goaltenders for the team's play-in series against the Carolina Hurricanes. He just wasn't willing to share those decisions.
"We talked about a variety of things," Quinn said. "I don't know if I'm gonna open the vault and tell you everything that we talked about."
Pressed on the goaltending situation, he said, "There's a clarity on where everything is right now _ not that there wasn't before."
He said he talked to all three goaltenders _ Igor Shesterkin, Henrik Lundqvist and Alexandar Georgiev _ to let them know where things stand in the goaltending competition.
"All three of them were good," he said. "We're in a good spot in the net."
Shesterkin (10-2, with a 2.52 goals-against average and .932 save percentage on the season) was the No. 1 goaltender when play was halted March 12 because of the coronavirus. But Lundqvist has dominated the Hurricanes in his career, posting a 33-12-1 record, with a 2.00 GAA and .934 save percentage against them, including 3-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .947 save percentage this season.
