Lafrenière deflected a point shot by Ryan Lindgren past Samsonov to make it 2-0 with 1:12 left in the middle period. It was Lafrenière’s 11th of the season.“It is kind of annoying that I let a goal in at the end, but it doesn’t really matter if it is a shutout or not,” Shesterkin said through a translator. “The most important thing is to play the game, not let up any goals, finish strong especially in the last five minutes of the game. It’s either you finish strong or finish in a tie.”Argentina’s team will draw inspiration from Lionel Messi’s achievement in Qatar in its quest to reach the knockout stage of the Women’s World Cup for the first time

“I thought we had a lot of chances,” Capitals coach Peter Laviolette said. “Some of them were good looks, chances that you want to get, redirects, partial breakaways, shots right through the slot … we just couldn’t beat him (Shesterkin), not tonight.” The Rangers honored former coach and general manager Emile “The Cat” Francis with video tribute and a moment of silence before the game. The Hall of Famer died on Saturday at the age of 95. Francis served as GM of the Rangers from October 1964 to January 1976, and was also the coach during parts of 10 seasons during that stretch. He put together the famed G-A-G line (for goal-a-game) of Rod Gilbert, Jean Ratelle and Vic Hadfield. “We played good from start to finish,” Lafrenière said. “It was a really good game against a really good team. … They’re having a really good year, too, so it was a good test for us and we responded like that.”“He made a nice play at the blue line,” Lafrenière said of Zibanejad. “He was just behind me. I saw him so I just dropped it and he has a really good shot so that’s a good spot for him to shoot it.”
