The gaudy numbers, especially in Game 7 situations, are just another reminder of what Henrik Lundqvist does for the Rangers.
As Wednesday night's Game 7 wore on, there were plenty more reminders. Lundqvist may have been beaten by Alex Ovechkin's wicked wrist shot in the opening period, but the Rangers were able to pull even thanks to Lundqvist's big saves -- most of which came in a first period that looked at times like the final two periods of Game 6, with the Caps swarming the Rangers deep in the zone to create havoc and scoring chances.
Lundqvist finished regulation with 27 saves; five of those were on Ovechkin, including one off a faceoff with 33 seconds left in the third period.
