Henrik Lundqvist basically faced a game’s worth of shots in the first two periods of Saturday’s game against the San Jose Sharks, and he finally bucked in the final frame.
The Sharks scored three goals in a little more than third period to beat the New York Rangers by a score of 4-1, firing a ridiculous 52 shots on goal overall.

With a closed-door meeting after the game and plenty of angry quotes, it was clear that the Rangers realized how poorly they played Saturday.
McDonagh: In third, "seemed guys weren’t willing to compete hard, and that’s a very hard thing to say but you have to admit it sometimes."
