Shesterkin gave up five goals on 38 shots in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders.

Shesterkin gave up three even-strength goals and two power-play tallies, and even though the defense didn't do him any favors, there's no question he struggled badly throughout the contest. Preseason stats shouldn't matter much, however, and the goal was all about allowing Shesterkin to get enough ice time to be ready for Opening Night against the Penguins on Wednesday.
