Lundqvist will be between the pipes Sunday against the Sharks, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

After allowing 12 goals over his previous two turns, Lundqvist returned to form in his most recent outing Thursday against the Hurricanes, stopping 29 of 30 shots in the shootout victory. However, San Jose represents a dramatic step up in competition from offensively challenged Carolina, so it may be too soon to say that Lundqvist is completely out of his early-season rut.
