All Star Break
The NHL All-Star game is this weekend, and the Daily News talks about the Rangers’ only representative in the game: Henrik Lundqvist. The fourth year goaltender comes into the game with the third most wins in the league, and a 1.85 GAA in January. This will be Lundqvist’s first appearance in the game, despite having been nominated for three consecutive Vezina trophies through his first three seasons.
Larry Brooks meanwhile focuses on the ever present Cap problem, pointing out the Rangers can realistically only take on a contract of about $2M face value…unless they can do something with some of the players they have sitting on the bench.
