Analysis:

Lundqvist halted 10 of 11 shots in the first period, before teammate Marc Staal accidentally struck the goalie's right eye. It was a rough night all around for the Blueshirts, as replacement tender Antti Raanta was the victim of a a ferocious Pens attack, yielding three goals on 19 shots in two periods of play. We won't jump to conclusions as to the severity of the King's injury -- more concrete information should be revealed soon -- but it's worth noting that the Rangers recalled netminder Magnus Hellberg from AHL Hartford on Thursday morning.
