scored the deciding goal in the shootout and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 29 shots
through overtime and three more in the tiebreaker to help the Rangers beat the
new Jersey Devils 3-2 Sunday night.Lundqvist stopped Damon Severson in the
fourth round of the shootout to secure the Rangers sixth win in seven games and
second against the Devils at home in eight days. It also gave Lundqvist his
389th career win, tying him with Dominik Hasek for the most by a European-born
goaltender.He was an inspiration to me growing up, Lundqvist said about the
feat. He was the first guy I saw play paddle down. I grew up watching him, so
this special for sure.Lundqvist has been stellar since serving as the backup to
Antti Raanta, who started four straight games from Dec. 8-13. In three games
since, Lundqvist is 3-0-0 with a 0.98 goals against average and a .967 save
percentage. He also made several big stops on Sunday, which included two saves
on New Jersey breakaways, to fend off the Devils.Hank is such a competitor. He
works so hard, Rangers center Derek Stepan said. Hes an absolute workhorse -- a
great teammate. And I expected nothing less from him.New York coach Alain
Vigneault isnt surprised by Lundqvists recent play.This is the start of my
fourth year. As soon as I got here, I knew his preparation and his work ethic in
practice, Vigneault said. Thats why he was one of the best goaltenders in the
league at that time, and he continues to be. He just works at his game, hes
really focused, and hes a great person.Mats Zuccarello also scored in the
shootout, and Chris Kreider and Derek Stepan had goals in regulation.PA
Parenteau and Miles Wood scored and Cory Schneider stopped 24 shots as the
Devils lost their sixth straight. Michael Cammalleri had a shootout goal.Things
are going to happen in hockey games, Cammalleri said. We arent hiding from the
fact that were on a losing streak and we have to get out of it.Parenteau broke a
scoreless tie early in the second with his seventh goal of the season and the
Devils on the power play. Parenteau pushed a loose puck underneath Lundqvist and
off the post, but the Rangers goalie inadvertently hit the puck into the net as
he tried to cover it up.The Rangers upped the pressure in the third and after
several chances that were stopped by Schneider. New York finally found the back
of the net as Mats Zuccarello quickly swung the puck from behind the net to
Kreider, who tapped the puck in to even the score at 8:10.The Devils quickly
responded to recapture the lead with 9:28 left in the third. Adam Henrique
forced Dan Girardi to turn over the puck behind the Rangers net, fought off two
Rangers players and sent the puck to Wood, who got a quick shot off in front of
the net to give the Devils the 2-1 lead.However the Rangers kept pressing and
tied it with 1:13 left in regulation as Stepan redirected the puck past
Schneider.Its not the result we wanted so thats a little frustrating and
disappointing, Schneider said. I thought our defending was good here against a
really offensive team, but again at the end of the day its the two points that
matter.Sunday was the final time the Devils will play at Madison Square Garden
this season and the loss extended their struggles away from Prudential Center.
