The New York Rangers closed out the 2018 calendar year with one final win as they defeated the St. Louis Blues 2-1 in regulation time. Henrik Lundqvist completely stole this game for the Rangers as he turned away 38 of the 39 shots in faced, most of which came in the final two periods of play. It was vintage Hank tonight, and if not for him, this game could have gone very different for the Rangers on New Year’s Eve.
Despite the Rangers having the better of the play in the first period, it was the Blues who opened the scoring midway through.
