Henrik Lundqvist Brilliant In Return To Crease
5 years agoNew York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist picked up his third win of the season as his team defeated the visiting Detroit Red Wings 5-1 on Wednesday. Having served as the back-up in his previous three contests, the 37-year-old returned to the net and allowed just one goal on 36 shots on the night. As it appears that Lundqvist is participating in a timeshare with fellow netminder Alexandar Georgiev, the Swedish native's fantasy ownership has been falling over the past week (69% owned in Yahoo! leagues). While there is definite concern over his lack of playing time, Lundqvist has actually managed to post a fairly respectable 3.16 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage in his seven starts. The New York Rangers don't appear to be a team that's going to contend for a playoff spot in 2019-2020 but Lundqvist can still provide value to fantasy owners if he can continue his strong play in net.
