Brilliant Henrik Lundqvist makes Rangers’ limited offense stand up

Henrik Lundqvist

A great goalie and a 19-second offensive outburst was all the Rangers needed.

The Blueshirts managed to pull of their third straight win, a 3-1 victory over the Sabres on Sunday night at the Garden, on the back of a stupendous performance from Henrik Lundqvist.

The two quick goals from Neal Pionk and Jimmy Vesey at the start of the second period were all they needed, too, before an empty-netter from Vesey finished things in the final minutes.

The Rangers (6-7-1) were coming off a long four-game road trip, where they won the final two games in San Jose and Anaheim to stabilize what was a very difficult early start to the season.
