There are few things better than sad Henrik Lundqvist — I got the taste for this in the playoff series of 2015, and I’ve loved it ever since. That being said, Erik Cernak got an even sweeter front-row seat to sad Lundqvist, scoring his first NHL goal off a feed from Ryan Callahan in last night’s victory over the New York Rangers.

A few of the beat writers noted that Nikita Kucherov’s first goal ever in the NHL was also through Lundqvist — on Kucherov’s first-ever shot.
