BOSTON — As it turned out, it was a satisfying 35th birthday for Henrik Lundqvist.
The King shone at TD Garden, making 33 saves, and Pavel Buchnevich and Oscar Lindberg scored in a 4:25 span in the third period as the Rangers snapped a two-game skid with a 2-1 victory over the Bruins on Thursday night.
“I didn’t think it was going to be enough [to win] until really the last second,” said Lundqvist, who tied Grant Fuhr (403) for 10th place on the NHL’s all-time win list. “They had some pretty open looks in the first, but we found a way not to get hurt and we got our legs going and our minds going.
