NEWARK, N.J. – Henrik Lundqvist will get whatever work he needs in this six-game preseason in order to be ready to go when the Rangers’ season opens up Oct. 4. But with just those six games to work with, and with seven goaltenders on the training camp roster, there isn’t a lot of time for the guys who are vying to be Lundqvist’s backup to make an impression.
“Well, it’s not, but if you get one chance, you’ve got to take it,’’ one of those hopefuls, Marek Mazanec, said Monday before the Rangers played the first of those preseason games, a 4-3 overtime victory over the Devils at Prudential Center.
