Henrik Lundqvist,
N.Y. Rangers
The Swedish goaltender finished
with four wins, including one
shutout, a 1.50 goals-against
average and a .937 save
percentage. More importantly, he
held Atlanta's potent offense of
Marian Hossa, Ilya Kovalchuk and
Keith Tkachuk to a combined two
goals over the series. Lundqvist
was extremely reliable in the
final minutes of games, as
Atlanta never registered a goal
beyond the six-minute mark of
the third period. |
