Lundqvist Overcomes Injury Scare In Rangers Win

Feb 5, 2015 1:28 AM

Henrik Lundqvist took a puck to the throat and was scared and in pain on Saturday night.

Lundqvist shook that off and stopped 31 shots in the Rangers' 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

"I was getting ready for the shot, and I could feel a stick under my chin pull up my helmet, so I lost vision of the puck," Lundqvist said. "I had a bad feeling about it because I could kind of see the puck coming, but then I lost track of it.

"When I got hit, it was obviously extremely painful and it was hard to breathe for a couple of minutes."
