Henrik Lundqvist is determined to stay the course and do all he can. It’s often said that “sports do not build character, they reveal it,” meaning that it was there all along and it wasn’t developed over time. When it comes to Henrik Lundqvist, there are few characters more seminal to the arch of New York Rangers’ history. From the very beginning of his tenure in net, the Swede has carried the hopes and dreams of an entire city on his shoulders every single time he skates out to the Seventh Avenue end of Madison Square Garden. The goaltender is on his fourth coach, captain and second general manager, even when the times are changing, there is one constant for the organization.

Unpredictability Continues Into Second Round of 2019
UNPREDICTABILITY CONTINUES INTO SECOND ROUND OF 2019 PLAYOFFS The 2019 Conference Finals are comprised of two of the top six teams from the regular-season – Boston (No. 2) and San Jose (No. 6), who finished second in their respective conferences – and two teams that ranked outside the top 10 – Carolina (No. 11) and St. Louis (No. 12). * The Blues and Hurricanes’ journeys to the third round are each marked by strong performances in the 2019 calendar year – St. Louis ranked last overall in the NHL standings on Jan. 2 while Carolina also found itself among the bottom nine on that day. * This marked the fourth time in six years under the current playoff format - and 14th time in NHL history - that the second round required multiple Game 7s. The two Second Round Game 7s garnered record in- market ratings for all four clubs involved. * St. Louis advanced to the Conference Finals by winning the third Game 7 this postseason to require overtime - the most ever in one playoff year. * There have been 15 overtime contests this postseason - five more than the entire 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs (10 of 84 GP). * The Hurricanes won a pair of one-goal games to take a 2-0 series lead back to Raleigh, where they set a franchise record for attendance and completed their first-ever best-of-seven sweep. The score was tied or within one goal for 85% of the series (206:23 of 244:04), including each of the first 183:06 – Carolina took the first multi-goal lead of the series in the final minute of Game 3.

Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips December 15, 2017 Filppula’s goal leads Flyers to 5th straight win By AARON BRACY Associated Press Dec. 15, 2017 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — No longer struggling, the suddenly confident Philadelphia Flyers are now able to overcome their own blunders. Valtteri Filppula scored the game-winner with 2 1/2 minutes left in the second period and Travis Sanheim netted his first career goal to help the Flyers win their fifth straight game, 2-1 over the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night. Brian Elliott rebounded from a costly mistake early in the game to make 19 saves for the Flyers, whose winning streak has come on the heels of a 10-game losing streak. The winning stretch began with a three-game Canadian trip that started with coach Dave Hakstol changing the team’s formation to a more defensive-minded 1-2-2 alignment. Philadelphia (13-11-7) has outscored opponents 19-8 since. Buffalo opened the scoring 1 1/2 minutes into the game thanks to a miscue by Elliott. The Flyers goalie attempted to clear the puck from behind the net, but he passed right to Buffalo’s Zemgus Girgensons. The Buffalo center then passed in front to Ryan O’Reilly, who shot into an empty net for his eighth goal of the season. “A little miscommunication and a bad play on my part,” Elliott said. But the Flyers didn’t get rattled — something that maybe wouldn’t have happened two weeks ago. “You can take a punch better when you have a swagger to your game,” Hakstol said.
