Saturday night at Madison Square Garden was a huge night for New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Not only did he stop 39 shots in the Blueshirts 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers, but he also reached a couple milestones in the process.
Lundqvist passed Montreal Canadiens legend Jacques Plante for seventh all-time in wins with his 438th victory and also passed Edmonton Oilers great Grant Fuhr to enter the top 10 in all-time saves with his 21,616th.
It is no secret that Lundqvist is the most important player on the team. The winningest goalie in franchise history was arguably the biggest difference maker in the Rangers playoff runs the past decade and despite the Rangers being in a rebuild, he has made it very clear he wants to stay with his team rather than go to a Cup contender.
