Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist: Gets starting nod for Sunday's contest

Lundqvist will guard the cage in Sunday's home game against Columbus.

Analysis:

Lundqvist has struggled against the Blue Jackets this season, compiling a 1-1-0 record while posting an ugly 4.21 GAA and .868 save percentage over three appearances. The Swedish netminder has been red-hot in the month of February, however, registering a 7-1-1 record while maintaining an outstanding 1.85 GAA and .943 save percentage over nine appearances. He'll look to stay sharp and pick up his 29th win of the season in another tough home matchup with a Columbus team that's averaged 3.11 goals per game on the road this season, third in the NHL.
