Henrik Lundqvist will be between the pipes Saturday against the Hurricanes.
Lundqvist will be between the pipes Saturday against the Hurricanes.
Analysis:
Coach Alain Vigneault is expected to split the starts between Lundqvist and Cam Talbot for the team's weekend back-to-back, but that plan could change if King Henrik submits a dominant outing Saturday. Given that Lundqvist is riding a four-game winning streak and will be facing a Carolina squad that ranks second-last in the league with 21 points, he should be viewed as one of the better goalie plays on the Saturday slate.
