Whitmore, a former NHL goaltender, is now the goaltending supervisor for the NHL.<\/p>\n<p>The Lightning seemed to make it a point of emphasis to get in Shesterkin\u2019s face in an attempt to throw him off his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, starting several scrums around the Rangers\u2019 crease. At one point, Corey Perry took a slashing penalty after referees deemed he had gone too far with Shesterkin, leading to Mika Zibanejad\u2019s opening goal at 7:37 of the second. Riley Nash also took a penalty for goaltender interference at 8:23 of the second, leading to Chris Kreider\u2019s power-play goal.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/060522Rangers134CS.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Rangers\" class=\"wp-image-22543447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/060522Rangers134CS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/060522Rangers134CS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/060522Rangers134CS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Igor Shesterkin reacts after allowing the game-winning goal.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Rangers\u2019 lead wouldn\u2019t last, though, as the Lightning came back for a 3-2 victory on Sunday afternoon, cutting New York\u2019s lead in the conference final to 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>Lightning coach Jon Cooper said it wasn\u2019t part of their plan to be physical with Shesterkin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think they could have called it any tighter,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cThere were three penalties on goalie interference [between both teams]. Is a part of this game being net front? Yes. Was that part of our game plan, to knock him over? No. That first penalty, we were on a four-on-three power play and we take ourselves off it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrust me, we\u2019re not trying to hit the goalie. I think we were more angry than maybe the Rangers were at that point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Intentional or not, it had little effect on Shesterkin, as the Russian continued his Herculean play, stopping 48 of 51 shots. All three Lightning goals came on one-timers when Shesterkin simply couldn\u2019t do much. For much of the third period, he was keeping the game tied, as the Lightning mounted an onslaught.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/20220605_RangersLightning254cs.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Rangers\" class=\"wp-image-22543487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/20220605_RangersLightning254cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/20220605_RangersLightning254cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/20220605_RangersLightning254cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Igor Skesterkin and the Rangers lost Game 3 to the Lightning on Sunday. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI guess whenever there\u2019s a really elite goalie playing that way, I think that\u2019s kinda the mantra from the other team, is to try to get in his face,\u201d Rangers forward Andrew Copp said. \u201cTry and rattle him a little bit. But it seemed like Shesty handled that really well today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought our team did as well. Just try to limit the confrontations in front of the net.
