Henrik Lundqvist made 25 saves, and stopped all 11 shots he faced in the third period, to earn his sixth win of the 2018-19 season and the 437th win of his NHL career. By earning a win in tonight's contest, Lundqvist tied Hall of Famer Jacques Plante for seventh place on the NHL's all-time wins list. In addition, including his 61 career playoff wins, Lundqvist has now earned 498 wins (regular season and playoffs combined) in the NHL (and as a Ranger). He has posted a .900 SV% or better in 12 of his 14 appearances in 2018-19 (including each of his last seven appearances), and he has also posted a .925 SV% or better in seven of 14 appearances. Lundqvist is also now 14 saves away from tying Grant Fuhr for 10th place on the NHL's all-time saves list (since shots on goal and saves were first tracked in 1955-56). Lundqvist made his 819th career NHL appearance in tonight's game, and he is now one appearance away from tying Sean Burke for 13th place on the league's all-time appearances list.
