Lundqvist will start in goal Saturday afternoon for Game 5 against the Penguins.
It's win or go home for Lundqvist, who was shelled for four goals on 18 shots before getting yanked from Game 4 in the second period Thursday. Yes, the King is backed into a corner in the series, but he's been in this situation many times before. As noted in the report, the Rangers have won 15 of their past 19 elimination games in the postseason, with Lundqvist being a major part of that equation. Evgeni Malkin, who put up two power-play goals and four points in the latest contest, is definitely going to be on Hank's mind as he looks to keep the Blueshirts afloat.
