For the first time in his 14 year career with the New York Rangers, Henrik Lundqvist’s numbers were not those of an elite NHL goaltender. He missed out on a 20-win season for the first time and he posted career lows in in save percentage (.908%), goals against average(3.05), and he didn’t have a shutout.
The frustration shows. “It’s just disappointing. Because it comes down to a couple plays where, if our effort is a little higher, I think there’s no goals (allowed).” Lundqvist was quoted in a Newsday report after a Rangers loss against Ottawa on April 3.
