Malkin - about Shesherkin who made 79 saves: He's unbelievable

The Russian goaltender made numerous saves for the Blue Jays in their game against Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeny Malkin praised the skills of New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesherkin.

The Penguins defeated the Rangers 4-3 in overtime in the first game of the Stanley Cup 1/8 finals. Malkin scored the decisive puck in the 106th minute. Shesherkin deflected 79 shots.

"He's unbelievable. I think he's probably going to win the Vezina Trophy. We know games with him are a big challenge for forwards," Malkin was quoted by journalist Greg Wyszynski.
