Lundqvist cruises to 5th straight win

Henrik Lundqvist didn't have to work too hard Sunday, but he was nearly perfect when tested.

The New York Rangers goaltender stretched his personal win streak to five games, making 21 saves in a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Brayden Schenn spoiled Lundqvist's shutout bid in the waning moments, scoring a power-play goal with 10 seconds left, but Lundqvist has allowed only six goals in the last five games.

He's been particularly successful at home lately.
