Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist: Slated to start Game 1 in Ottawa

Lundqvist will start Thursday's second-round opening game in Ottawa by virtue of the Rangers using the same lineup from their last game, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

No surprises here, as Lundqvist spectacularly closed out the first-round series against Montreal, posting a .955 save percentage and 1.23 GAA on his way to victories in the final three games. King Henrik started just one game at Canadian Tire Centre during the regular season, allowing three goals on 33 shots en route to a loss on April 8, so he'll likely be looking to ride his current form rather than dwell on the past poor performance.
