Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist “embarrassed” after loss to Maple Leafs
TORONTO — New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist had a grin ear to ear in the first period that was visible through his mask. But he was only saving face.
Lundqvist had a rough start on Saturday, giving up five goals on 17 shots in the opening 20 minutes en route to an 8-5 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He started the second period watching from the bench as back up Ondrej Pavelec did his best to give his team a chance to come back.
The Rangers are now 0-2-0 to start the season after a 4-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in their season opener.
