After the 1st period the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins were tied at 1's. The game appeared to be a hotly contested matchup, but that quickly changed. Approximately 3 minutes into the 2nd period Mike Matheson scored his 1st of the playoffs.

24 seconds later Jake Guentzel scored his 5th and then 8 minutes last Mark Friedman added his 1st as well. That's when Penguins' fans took it upon themselves to serenade Shesterkin with a mocking chant. The entire crowd began to chant in unison:
Igor...Igor...Igor...


While sometimes a chant like this can motivate a goalie to dial in their play that wasn't the case for Shesterkin. Shesterkin would allow 2 more goals before the end of the period bringing his period total to 5.
The Rangers trail the game 6-2 entering the 3rd.
