With 30 saves in tonight’s hard fought 3-1 win over the Sharks, Henrik Lundqvist made NHL history by becoming the first goalie to win at least 20 games in his first 10 seasons. He was the answer to Rangers Trivia holding the previous record of nine.

He might not be going to the All-Star Game. But Lundqvist was spectacular. He made big saves when a tired team needed it most. Playing for the third time in four nights, the Rangers at times struggled defensively. They also got destroyed on faceoffs allowing the Sharks to dictate a majority of the final 12-plus minutes after Melker Karlsson’s power play goal cut the lead to 2-1.

Dating back to a Dec. 8 Garden win over the Pens, Lundqvist is 11-1-0 with a 1.56 GAA, .939 save percentage and one shutout. That’s pretty dominant.
