Losing isn’t fun, even when you just won nine straight games.
It’s not too surprising that Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers are bummed out after the Tampa Bay Lightning ended their run at nine straight victories with a 2-1 decision.
Really, though, Lundqvist’s more irritated with how it happened.
Henrik Lundqvist says "just very disappointed right now. It's a tough way to end it."
