Henrik Lundqvist Grabs Third Straight Win On Tuesday
6 years agoNew York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist won his third consecutive game on Tuesday, defeating the Montreal Canadiens at home by the score of 5-3. The veteran netminder stopped 31 of 34 shots faced in the contest, including a barrage of 17 shots in the opening frame. Over the course of his current win streak, Lundqvist has turned aside 101 of 108 pucks (.935 save percentage) and has improved his season numbers to a 2.64 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage. Considering the fact that the Rangers aren't a very strong defensive team, the Swedish native should face a ton of rubber this season and is proving that he's still a reliable option in net in his 14th NHL season. He'll likely draw back into the cage when the Rangers face the Red Wings on Friday.
