Scrums after the whistle are common in the NHL. What isn’t common is when you see a superstar goalkeeper join the game after the whistle.

During the New York Rangers’ 5-0 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday in New York, star goaltender Igor Shesterkin came right into the game ready to swing.

The Rangers were up 3-0 with 12:51 left in the third period over the Senators when things went wild at Madison Square Garden.

Senators captain Brady Tkachuk went after a loose puck and ran into Rangers star goalie Igor Shesterkin, sending the goalie back into his own net.

The five Rangers players on the ice immediately came to their goaltender’s defense as they swarmed Tkachuk.

Then the rest of the Senators’ players came on the ice to their captain’s defense, and eventually every Rangers and Senators skater joined in a shoving match.

As all the chaos unfolded, Shesterkin crouched in the fold and collected himself.

Then suddenly, as the chaos began to die down, Shesterkin stood up and charged straight into the melee, going after Tkachuk.

Tkachuk saw Shesterkin coming and hit the goalie’s helmet, knocking Shesterkin over as Shesterkin threw a block at Tkachuk.

Then Tkachuk, whose right arm was being held by Rangers forward Matt Rempe, clashed with Shesterkin before the referees intervened and removed Shesterkin from the scrum.

With Shesterkin pulled away, Rempe, known for struggling in his short time in the NHL, went after Tkachuk.

But a referee got between the two and didn’t let them fight, despite Rempe and Tkachuk throwing punches at each other around the referee.

Once order was restored on the ice, the referees gathered and dished out a slew of penalties.

Shesterkin was penalized two minutes for leaving the goalkeeper’s box. Rempe received a double-less penalty for roughing.

Tkachuk was also given a double-minor penalty for roughing, and he was also penalized for goaltender interference.

Senators center Shane Pinto also received a minor penalty for a hard hit on Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren.

The Rangers ended up on the power play after all the penalties, and Artemi Panarin cashed in to make it 4-0.

Alexis Lafrenière, Arthur Kaliyev, Rempe, Panarin and Will Cuylle all scored in the win for Rangers.

The Rangers are 7-1-3 in their last 11 games and are back in the wild-card race after a terrible stretch in which they won just four of 19 games in December.
