Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist: Enjoys very happy birthday Thursday

Lundqvist denied the Bruins on 32 of 33 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win -- No. 403 in his career, tying him with Grant Fuhr for 10th all-time.

Analysis:

It's hard to imagine a finer way for Lundqvist to celebrate his 35th birthday than by emphatically ending his two-game losing skid with an impressive victory. Much of this game was played in the Rangers' zone -- they took just 21 shots on Tuukka Rask -- but Lundqvist was in prime form. The inconsistency has been troubling for his fantasy owners, and it's hard to say that the King is past it, but vintage performances like this one lend themselves to optimism.
