Henrik Lundqvist has achieved a feat no other goalie before him ever has.

With a near-perfect performance on Tuesday night, turning away 25 of 26 shots thrown his way by the Philadelphia Flyers, the New York Rangers netminder became the first goalie in league history to record 20 wins in 13 consecutive seasons, according to NHL Public Relations.

With win No. 20 under his belt, Lundqvist also becomes just the sixth goaltender to record 13 or more 20-win campaigns.

After a shaky 2016-17 season, Lundqvist has returned to his career form, having gone 20-11-4 with a 2.54 GAA and a .924 save percentage.
