Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist: Tending twine Wednesday

Lundqvist will patrol the blue paint for Wednesday's meeting with Washington.

Analysis:

Lundqvist has just one win in four contests since returning from a hip injury, and he still allowed three pucks to tickle the twine in that victory. Over this disappointing four-game stretch, the netminder has logged a 3.92 GAA and .873 save percentage. It won't get any easier against the Capitals, as they ice the NHL's second-best offense (3.24 goals per game). Unless King Henrik can get back to his dominant form, the Rangers could be in for a short playoff series against the Canadiens.
