Russian Shestyorkin will become the highest-paid goalie in NHL history

New York Rangers hockey player Igor Shestyorkin will become the highest paid goalie in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL). This was reported by ESPN on Saturday, December 7.

Shestyorkin and the American club discussed an eight-year contract with an average annual salary of $11.5 million to $12 million per year, which is higher than the previous eight-year contract for $88 million, which the hockey player refused in October.

It is noted that the agreement will take effect from next season, in which case the hockey player will become the highest-paid goalie in the history of the NHL.

"Gazeta.Ru" specifies that the last record among goalies belonged to the player "Montreal" Carey Price with a salary of $10.5 million per season.

On the same day, New York Rangers forward Artemi Panarin entered the top ten scorers among Russians in the history of the NHL. The game between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins was held at the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York and ended with a score of 4:2 in favor of Panarin's club.

It is noted that he became the first star of the match, scoring two pucks and giving one goal.
