Lundqvist to see eye specialist, injury not thought to be 'too serious'
Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports
An air of uncertainty still surrounds the status of Henrik Lundqvist.
The New York Rangers goaltender, who was injured in Game 1 of the team's first-round series against Pittsburgh after taking an errant stick to the eye, is set to visit a specialist Thursday, with more information in terms of his availability coming later.
Head coach Alain Vigneault doesn't believe it's cause for too much concern.
