#Habs MSL: "I feel like you can't take the player outta me a little bit. I don't try to be in the locker room a lot because to me it's their space... but every now & then I've had moments with them... obviously on a night like tonight, I wanted to be with them & we had some fun."
#NYR head coach Mike Sullivan said Igor Shesterkin reminds him of Henrik Lundqivst from when he was in New York the first time around as an assistant:
"That was always my observation of watching Hank. He was a fierce competitor and his practice habits were off the charts, and I watch the same thing with Shesty. I think, in a lot of ways, he personifies what we want to become."
Asked #NYR captain J.T. Miller what it meant to have a moment like Igor Shesterkin’s fight at home tonight:
“Yeah, we needed that. Just little things like that. I mean, we've been playing well, I think. Since the break, I think, we've liked a lot of our games, and especially going back to the Toronto game, we feel like we deserve better there. So that’s four in a row that we’ve liked, especially at home. There hasn’t been, unfortunately, a lot to cheer about early this year. To have a moment like that, it’s really special.”
