Markstrom, Shesterkin, Saros named finalists for Vezina Trophy

Jacob Markstrom of the Calgary Flames, Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers and Juuse Saros of the Nashville Predators are finalists for the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender in 2021-22.

All three are looking to win the award for the first time. It also marks the first time all three are making their debuts as finalists since 2014.

Markstrom, in his second season with Calgary, helped the Flames finish first in the Pacific Division. He went 37-15-9 with career bests in goals-against average (2.22) and save percentage (.922).

The Flames are tied 2-2 with the Dallas Stars in a Western Conference quarterfinal.

Markstrom, who had a league-leading nine shutouts this season, is the first Flame to be a finalist for the award since Miikka Kiprusoff in 2006-07. The latter is the only Flame to have won the award — one year earlier.

Shesterkin was 36-13-4 with a league-leading 2.07 GAA and .935 save percentage. A 2014 Rangers draft pick (fourth round, 118th overall), the Russian broke into the NHL in the 2019-20 season.

This year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs, however, have been a challenge for Shesterkin, who has been pulled in two games in a row as the Rangers have fallen behind 3-1 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Saros went 38-25-3 with a 2.64 GAA and .918 save percentage, but suffered a foot injury in the final week of the regular season and was inactive for the post-season.

It was a big blow for the Predators, who became the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs on Monday when they were swept by the Colorado Avalanche.

Saros became Nashville’s full-time starter this season after the retirement of Pekka Rinne.

NHL general managers voted on the Vezina at the conclusion of the regular season.

The winners of all awards will be announced during the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Finals.

Ladies Who Shaved Their Private And Public Hair Needs To Know This

Many women practice waxing or shaving as methods of removing body hair. Still, a recent research has shown that this habit is dangerous and it must be stopped right away. This research was carried out by a team of scientists led by Andrea De Maria and it was published in the “American Diary of Obstetrics and Gynecology”. The results of the research have indicated that eighty seven percent of women go to the beauty salon to get their private intimate parts waxed, while ninety percent of all women shave their pubic hair on a regular basis. Nevertheless, De Maria claims that women should not wax or shave their private parts. As De Maria explains, the skin in the genital region is pretty sensitive and vulnerable to infection, particularly when there are small cuts and wounds on the surface of the skin caused during the process of shaving or waxing. This region also contains a great number of sweat glands and this means that this region is perfect for the growth of bacteria. Event...
