It was something Valiquette said solely for Lundqvist's benefit. The two were Rangers teammates from 2006-10.
Shesterkin, who is off to an excellent start to his career with the Rangers, has played just 49 career games. Lundqvist, of course, is the Rangers career leader in wins (459) and 6th on the NHL career list.
Lundqvist only recently accepted a job with MSG Network after
announcing his retirement
in August. And while the two had a good chuckle, Lundqvist wasn't quick to dismiss Shesterkin's impressive play.
"It was good," Lundqvist said in response after the laugh.
