Lundqvist pulls off ultra-rare feat with 2nd straight 50-save performance
by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#3H8DA)
The New York Rangers aren't playing for much anymore, but Henrik Lundqvist clearly hasn't given up on the season.
He made 50 saves on Friday night in a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, becoming only the third goaltender in NHL history to make that many stops in consecutive appearances since shots on goal became an official statistic in 1955-56.
Legendary netminder Gump Worsley accomplished the feat with the Rangers in 1963 and Al Rollins did it with the Chicago Black Hawks in 1955.
Lundqvist also made 50 saves (albeit while allowing five goals) in a 6-5 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.
