With every game he plays, I become more and more convinced that Shesterkin should win not just the Vezina, but the Hart. He is having a Carey Price '2014-15-esque season, and despite all the talent the Rangers have elsewhere, their lack of depth on both offense and defense (behind Zibanejad/Kreider/Panarin and Fox/Trouba, respectively) would be far more glaring were it not for Shesterkin.
His stats are incredible-his GAA is 1.96, his SV % is .940 (.940!!! Are you kidding me?!), and he has not given up more than 3 goals in any game since the calendar flipped to 2022 (and just 3 times the entire season). He's not singlehandedly carrying the team, but they're in a far better position than they would be otherwise without him. If he keeps this up down the stretch, he's the clear frontrunner IMO.
