LOS ANGELES — Antti Raanta made 30 saves Saturday night as the Rangers lowered their magic number to clinch a Stanley Cup playoff spot to two points with a 3-0 victory over the Kings.
They have 96 points with seven games left, starting Sunday night in Anaheim, when Henrik Lundqvist will return after missing eight games with a hip sprain.
But if Raanta’s fourth shutout of the season was his last game for a while — with Lundqvist expected to play all but one game as the season winds down — the Finnish goalie made it count.
