Henrik Lundqvist needs one more win to reach the 450 mark. The New York Rangers future Hall of Famer is sixth on the all-time list with 449 and has failed in his last five attempts to reach the milestone. You can see that it is eating at him in his post-game comments and this may be his last, best chance this season to get the win.
After tonight’s game, the Rangers play Columbus at Madison Square Garden on Friday and travel to Pittsburgh on Saturday for their season finale. Both the Blue Jackets and Penguins are in a desperate fight for playoff seeding so those games should have playoff intensity.
