Defenseman K’Andre Miller had a goal and an assist and Igor Shesterkin made 35 saves as the surging New York Rangers routed the Philadelphia Flyers 6-1.

SCORING: All the cats joined in, from Fiery Fil Chytil to Reilly Smith and even very-up-and-coming Adam Edstrom, just to name a few lamplighters. TRADE BAIT: K'Andre Miller boosted his value on the meat market with not only a goal but a solid two-way game.

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.

Even on a night when their offense was nearly non-existent, the Rangers’ continued their recent winning ways. Thanks to Igor Shesterkin.

The real story is Shesterkin’s 164:03 shutout streak, dating back to the opening minute of the second period in Salt Lake City last week. 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.

Igor Shesterkin made 20 saves, Alexis Lafreniere had a goal and an assist and the New York Rangers beat the Ottawa Senators 5-0 on Tuesday night. Arthur Kaliyev, Matt Rempe, Artemi Panarin and Will Cuylle also scored for the Rangers, who are 7-1-3 since Jan. 2 and have won three straight at home.

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.
