PHILADELPHIA — If anyone doubted Henrik Lundqvist’s resolve, remove that doubt.
Playing 24 hours after the Rangers’ dreadful performance in a 4-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at Madison Square Garden, Lundqvist, who admitted that he had to make more key saves, put on a vintage show and made the difference in a 5-2 victory at Wells Fargo Center.
Kevin Hayes and Michael Grabner each scored twice and playing five-on-five, the Rangers were more focused and crisper than on Tuesday, had better forechecking, backchecking and puck support and attempted shots from all over for their NHL-leading 14th road win.
