The blast zone left Henrik Lundqvist nowhere to be seen after his team lost 4-1 to the Penguins on Thursday night at CONSOL Energy Center. Lundqvist himself was ground zero, as the Rangers’ goalie had blown up after he was railroaded by his own defenseman, Ryan McDonagh, early in the second period, tossing his own net off the moorings soon thereafter when the officials wouldn’t give him a stoppage of play.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen him that mad,” alternate captain Derek Stepan said.
As for how the Penguins felt, Lundqvist’s counterpart, Marc-Andre Fleury, told Pittsburgh reporters it was “baby stuff.”
So after the Penguins scored three goals in 99 seconds in the final three minutes of the second, Lundqvist didn’t even come out to the bench to watch the third.
