Igor Shesterkin scores first goalie goal in Rangers' 5-1 win over Lightning

Igor Shesterkin made history by scoring the first goalie goal for the New York Rangers in their home opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning, resulting in a 5-1 victory. Shesterkin scored an unassisted goal into an empty net at 17:26 of the third period, becoming the 18th goaltender in NHL history to achieve this feat. The win marked a bounce-back for a Rangers team that suffered a shutout loss in their previous game. Post-game, Shesterkin humorously reflected on the moment, referring to it as better than a previous fight where he was punched. The Rangers improved to 1-1-0 early in the season.
