Goalie nods: Streaking Lundqvist looks to stymie Chicago

Henrik Lundqvist will aim to continue his stellar run of play tonight when the Rangers host the Blackhawks in New York.

Lundqvist is 5-1-0 in the month of February -- allowing three goals or fewer in each of his six appearances -- but it’s his recent run over the last three games that’s really impressive.

Monday, Feb. 8: stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 2-1 win over New Jersey

Wednesday, Feb. 10: stopped all 34 shots faced in a 3-0 shutout win over Pittsburgh

Sunday, Feb 14: stopped 21 of 22 shots in a 3-1 win over Philadelphia.

Unsurprisingly, Lundqvist’s run of good play has bolstered his overall numbers on the year: 28-14-4 record, 2.29 GAA, .924 save percentage. He does certainly face a tall order tonight, though, against a Chicago team that exploded for seven goals in Monday’s beating of the Maple Leafs.

The ‘Hawks will have Corey Crawford in goal.
