Igor Shesterkin collected 20 saves en route to a shutout, and even entered into a fight behind his own net with Ottawa captain Brady Tkachuk in the third period, as the New York Rangers blanked the Senators 5-0 on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

The Rangers are playing so much better in front of their goalies this month that their numbers are bound to be better, but Shesterkin is also very much on point after his brief absence at the start of January.

The attempt to acquire Miller may become more complicated if the 31-year-old winger is willing to waive his no-move clause to other destinations. If it is truly New York or Nowhere, the Rangers and GM Chris Drury have a fair amount of control over the process.

The New York Rangers’ 5–0 shutout victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night was overshadowed by an aborted fight between Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin and Senators captain Brady Tkachuk.
