Henrik Lundqvist is a beast! Ole Henrik earned his fourth shutout of the season, stopping 30 shots, and Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Shanahan accounted for the offense in the New York Rangers' 2-0 asswhuppin over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night.
Not only has Lundqvist been on fire all season, he has shown no signs of ever getting tired despite playing all 14 games for the Rangers (7-6-1).
New York won its 4th straight to finish a 5-1 homestand while the first-place Flyers (8-5) were shut out for the first time this season. Philadelphia has lost eight of 11 to the Rangers, who took a season-high 45 shots.
Most of the action in the first period took place in the Philadelphia end, but Henrik Lundqvist turned aside the 11 shots he faced. He stopped 14 more in the second.
Henrik Lundqvist, who had only 5 shutouts all last season, has allowed more than one goal only once this year. All his shutouts this season have come in the last eight games and the Rangers have gone 5-2-1.
He preserved his 11th shutout by denying Scottie Upshall on a breakaway in the second period, and then stopped Joffrey Lupul's shot with just more than five minutes left in the game.
Jaromir Jagr got the Rangers on the board late in the first on New York's 22nd and final shot of the period. Dan Girardi made a nice pass behind his back to Jagr, who carried the puck into the Philadelphia zone. Jagr skated to the left circle and, while being guarded by defenseman Braydon Coburn, wristed a shot that sailed over Biron's glove. It was Jagr's third goal of the season.
Jagr thought he scored No. 3 last Monday, but later the goal was credited to Shanahan as NHL officials used video replay to determine that his shot hit Shanahan's skate before reaching the Tampa Bay net.
Shanahan's power-play goal on this night made it 2-0 with 3:21 left. He slapped in a nice pass from Jagr above the right circle.
Biron made 43 saves but it wasnt enough after just his second game off this season. He was given a rest after allowing five goals on 41 shots in a 5-2 loss at Montreal on Thursday, he's not getting much support these days.
He was sharp Monday, making his best save in the second period when he stopped Marcel Hossa's quick shot off a deflected pass at the left post, but the Flyers lost for fourth time in six games. The Rangers blasted 20 shots in the first period against Washington for their previous high. The 22 were the most allowed by Philadelphia in a period this season, topping the 19 yielded to Carolina in the second on October 20. They gave up 44 overall that night, also a previous season high.
