The King is in.

New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist started Game 2 on Saturday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Lundqvist was forced out of Game 1 following the first period after he took a high stick and suffered an eye injury.

"He's good to go," said Vigneault before the game.

Lundqvist stopped 10 of 11 shots in Wednesday's series opener, allowing a goal shortly after his defender's stick came through his mask and got him in the eye. He was replaced by Antti Raanta, who stopped 16 of 19 shots as the Rangers dropped the game 5-2.
