They say Henrik Lundqvist is a cerebral goaltender, but this is ridiculous.
The New York Rangers netminder used his helmet to redirect a shot by Florida Panthers forward Dave Bolland over to teammate Derek Stepan on Monday night.
Lundqvist was struck by a puck in the throat during Saturday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. He stayed in the game despite admitting after the contest that he felt lightheaded.
This time, it was far less serious, and actually quite amusing. Let's just call him the Zlatan Ibrahimovic of the NHL.
