After Sunday night’s win against the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden it comes as no surprise that New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist has been named the NHLs Second Star of the Week  despite missing a shutout with literally just seconds left in the game.  Lundqvist has gone 3-0-0 with a 0.67 goals-against average, .976 save percentage, and one shutout, to seven out of a possibly eight standing points. He has greatly helped his team maintain second place in the Metropolitan Division.
He turned aside 27 shots in a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on February 8th. Lundqvist then denied all 34 shots he faced, including 13 in the final period, to record his 58th career shutout and tie John Ross for 18th place in NHL history in a 3-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on February 10th. He ended the week with 21 saves in the 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers Feb. 14.
The 33-year-old goalie shares third place in the NHL with 28 wins in 47 games this season, including an 18-3-2 record at Madison Square Garden, where he has earned at least one point in nine consecutive appearances.
