New York Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist made his fifth appearance at the NHL All-Star Skills Competition on Friday night, winning the saves-streak event.
Henrik was the last goalie to go needing to make nine consecutive saves to beat out Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, who was riding an eight-save streak.
Henrik wouldn’t be denied in this night.
Lundqvist won by making some great saves, a little luck thanks to some help by the left post (which he acknowledged by rubbing it), and a save on an old rival.
His ninth-consecutive save came at the expense of former New York Islanders captain and current Toronto Maple Leafs stud, John Tavares.
