HARTFORD, November 1, 2019: The American Hockey League today named the Hartford Wolf Pack’s Igor Shesterkin the CCM/AHL Goaltender of the Month for the month of October.
Shesterkin was 5-1-0 in his first six North American pro games, with only six goals-against on 155 shots (1.49 goals-against average, 94.2% save percentage). The 2014 New York Rangers fourth-round (118th overall) draft pick also posted his first AHL shutout October 18 vs. Springfield, making 36 saves in a 1-0 Wolf Pack win.
In recognition of his honor, Shesterkin will be presented with an etched crystal award by the AHL prior to an upcoming Wolf Pack home game.
The Wolf Pack continues a stretch of four straight road games tonight with a 7:30 PM contest vs. the Laval Rocket at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec. All of the action can be heard live on-line at hartfordwolfpack.com, and video streaming is available at ahllive.com.
The Wolf Pack’s next home game is next Friday, November 8, when they host the Hershey Bears at the XL Center. Faceoff is 7:15, and once again this season, all Friday-night Wolf Pack home games feature $1 hot dogs and $2 beers through the start of the second period, presented by Nomads Adventure Quest.
