Lundqvist said he doesn’t expect any drop off from the 2015-16 Rangers, who open the season on Oct. 7 at defending Cup champion Chicago.

“You feel that walking in here — the expectations are higher now,” Lundqvist said. “I like that. It’s a good thing.

“Now is the time to maybe look at the big picture here and see, OK, this is what we want to do — maybe you see yourself do it,” he added. “But then you break it down and start focusing on just getting a good start.”

Lundqvist, who put up a solid 2.25 goals-against average and .922 save percentage last season despite missing more than 20 games due to a neck injury, said he took time to go over what went wrong in the conference finals, but is now ready to move forward.

“You relive the different game situations, and you analyze it, and you get upset and frustrated,” Lundqvist said. “But you also appreciate the good moments that you had. Then you come to a point where, ‘OK, I can’t walk around and think about this any more.’ And you move on.

“You still think about it, but you accept that it’s over.”
