Game one is in the books.
Despite getting the loss, Henrik Lundqvist showed flashes of his younger self against one of the most lethal teams in the National Hockey League.
The header was there, one-on-one high scoring chances were stopped, and the goals allowed were certainly not softies. Goal one was a rifle from Forsberg and the GWG was screened by Shattenkirk. Overall, it seemed like Hank was King Henrik, and the spotlight of last season’s mishaps are now just a fading glimmer.
Lundqvist spoke on the teams performance after the home opener, and elaborated on what to expect in the coming games, as reported by the New York Post.
