It’s September and it’s another step closer to the New York Rangers 2017-18 season. To gear up for the season, Kevin had an idea for us at Blueshirt Banter for the month of September: to celebrate the Rangers’ most important player, Henrik Lundqvist. All throughout this month, we’ll be writing about some of our favorite Lundqvist moments in a series, “30 Days of Lundqvist.”
To start things off, we have Lundqvist’s first career NHL win, and first in a Rangers’ sweater, that came during his rookie season in 2005-06. His NHL debut came one game earlier, on October 8, 2005 against the New Jersey Devils in place of injured starting goaltender Kevin Weekes.
