Shesterkin's feat occurred in overtime, when the Lightning had pulled their goalie, leaving Shesterkin with a wide-open net. This marks the 21st instance of a goalie scoring in NHL history, with eight of those goals being own goals. Shesterkin's goal capped off an impressive win for the Rangers, solidifying his status as one of the league's most accomplished goalies.",
