New York Rangers coach Alain Vigneault threw his starting goaltender under the bus following Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils, characterizing the second goal allowed by Lundqvist as a "routine save."
"I'm not quite sure what happened there," Vigneault told reporters during the post-game press conference. "It's an easy first man on the puck. Mind you, it's a routine save."
For his part, Lundqvist agreed with Vigneault's assessment of the goal, which can be seen here:
Lundqvist has allowed three goals in each of his last two starts and is 6-7-0 on the season. His .915 save percentage is his lowest since the 2007-08 season.
