CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Henrik Lundqvist hasn’t beaten the Penguins in a regular-season game in more than three years, going back to Feb. 10, 2016. And the veteran Rangers goalie won’t get a chance to rectify that 0-5-3 ledger as he is set to backup Alexandar Georgiev for the third time in the past four games with Sunday afternoon’s match at Pittsburgh.
The most recent time Lundqvist faced the Penguins — a team, remember, he beat in consecutive postseason series in 2014 and 2015 — was Jan. 2, getting pulled after giving up six goals on 18 shots.
