Another marquee matchup of the NHL’s elite goaltenders was witnessed at madison Square Garden Wednesday night.
The New York Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist took to the ice versus the rival Montreal Canadiens’ netminder and reigning Viezina Trophy winner from last season Carey Price.
It was a battle of top Eastern Conference powers that were vying for first place.
The Rangers entered with tied with the Canadiens in points (34) and almost identical records.
From the start of the game, Montreal started imposing their will on the Rangers defense, making things difficult with their fast moving puck possession and quick skates.
