OTTAWA, Ontario — The milestone will have to wait.
Goalie Henrik Lundqvist remained stuck on win No. 454 when the Rangers lost to the Senators, 4-1, on Friday. One more win and Lundqvist will pass Curtis Joseph for sole possession of fifth place on the all-time wins list.
“I know one day, you’ll look back at it and really appreciate it,” Lundqvist said before he was peppered with 39 shots, making 35 saves. “I do [appreciate it] now, as well. But you try to move on and get ready for the next game. Keep pushing.
