Maybe Biron Should Pilot Rangers Against Jets
Henrik Lundqvist has a 2-1 record against the Winnipeg Jets since they relocated from Atlanta two years ago. He has pretty solid stats with a .923 save percentage, a 2.01 goals against average and a shutout to his name and reportedly will start tonight, but maybe Martin Biron deserved the start here.
Last season Biron started in two of the four games, and allowed just one goal in 120 minutes of work. He stopped 50 of the 51 shots he faced, on the way to two wins, including a 3-0 shutout. He’s also coming off a solid 4-1 performance against the Capitals last weekend, whereas Lundqvist gave up 3 goals on 21 shots in Buffalo. With the Penguins Saturday, this might have been a good spot.
