The other night, goaltender Igor Shesterkin scored a goal.

Last night, the Russian extended his streak of games with at least one point to two. He picked up an assist on Eeli Tolvanen's insurance goal.

In addition to racking up points, the Russian is doing his job like a champ. Check out his numbers:
