New York Rangers: Five Times Henrik Lundqvist Carried the Rangers
#5: 2014 Conference Semifinals vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
The New York Rangers lost in the 2014 Stanley Cup Final to the Los Angeles Kings in five games. Henrik Lundqvist played a huge role in the team reaching the finals; starting in the second round against Pittsburgh.
The Rangers won this series in seven games, but they started the series down three games to one. The Rangers won Game One, but it took 34 saves on 36 shots from Lundqvist to keep them alive. Losing the next three games, the Rangers had no choice but to win out.
The next three games were pure magic for Lundqvist. He allowed just three goals over those three games, posting a .970% save percentage in those games. The Rangers would ride that momentum into the conference finals, where Lundqvist would put on another great performance coming later in the count down.
