Their four wins are tied for the league-high.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, three of the five shootouts have gone six rounds or longer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know, around [the seventh round] I was sitting next to [Ryan Reaves] and he was making me nervous,\u201d defenseman Jacob Trouba said with a smile. \u201cHe was nervous, and that meant I got nervous. It was nice to see some D though, we were kind of heckling a little bit that we need more D.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After participating in his third shootout of the season, Shesterkin is now 3-0.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Despite being a full participant in the Rangers\u2019 four days of practice, defenseman Patrik Nemeth was scratched on Tuesday. It was the sixth straight game that the Swede has missed for what the team has said is \u201cpersonal reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t think he\u2019s ready yet,\u201d Gallant said.<\/p>\n<p>Zac Jones took his place, skating alongside fellow rookie Braden Schneider to make up the third defensive pair.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Kaapo Kakko, who is on injured reserve with an upper-body injury, missed a career-high seventh straight game. The Finnish winger hasn\u2019t missed this much time since he was sidelined six games last season while in COVID-19 protocol, which forced players to miss at least 10 days last season.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
