On the decision, Peter Laviolette said “It was a tentative plan to have it that way. I do think that he’s earned it. Quickie has..his last three games, his numbers are through the roof…but Shesty is our guy. This was a chance for us to work with him, he’s with Benny, more video, more reps, he can focus on his game and just get really dialed in for a stretch run, stretch push. We’re in a fortunate situation where we’ve got two good goaltenders and coming off the All-Star break it was a plan for Shesty to get some work in, some practice time to prepare himself for the final stretch run.” (NYR)
Laviolette added, again, “Shesty is our guy here.”
