The Stars didn’t have it easy, but the boys move on to the next challenge.
They’ll cross swords with the Colorado Avalanche.
Igor Shesterkin backstopped the @NYRangers to a fifth straight win in the 2024 playoffs. The only other time they won the first five games of a postseason as the reigning Presidents’ Trophy winner was 1994 – the year they won the #StanleyCup.#NHLStats: https://t.co/GpzkDh6OXU pic.twitter.com/gaIqUv07p5
