I know that this is a few days old but here’s a good look at New York Rangers’ goaltender Henrik Lundqvist from Dan Rosen at NHL.com:
With Henrik Lundqvist, you have to appreciate the honesty.
All the New York Rangers goalie does to self-evaluate his play during the past 12 starts is recall the extra goal or two or three that he’s allowed—the goals that frustrate elite goalies—and the analysis becomes easy because the losses have mounted.
“Like the other night (against Florida) I felt I played really well, but I let in that fluky goal in the second and that was the difference in the end,” Lundqvist told NHL.com, discussing Jordan Leopold’s goal off a soft shot that wound up being the winner in a 3-2 Rangers’ loss. “I need to know that my game is right there and I played pretty well. It’s just that they got a fluky goal and that was the difference.”
The frustrating part for Lundqvist is the difference on most nights has been one goal and, until Monday, when the Rangers broke out for seven goals, he hasn’t been getting much offensive support.
