Henrik Lundqvist helped the New York Rangers win a playoff series in a Game 7 on May 13th after making 35 saves.

This is not a recording. Before Wednesday night’s win over the Washington Capitals, Lundqvist had done it twice before.

As Andrew Shapiro of SidelineBuzz.com noted on Twitter, this is the third consecutive May 13th that the Rangers have won a Game 7 with Lundqvist stopping 35 shots. Last season, he did it against the Pittsburgh Penguins, finishing off a series comeback after being down 3-1. Two years ago, it was the Capitals falling victim during yet another seven-game series between the teams.

That's ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as Lundqvist's stats in Games 7s at Madison Square Garden in his career. According to TSN, the Rangers netminder is now 10-0 all-time with a 0.87 goals against average, .969 save percentage and two shutouts. He's also won his last six Game 7s overall.

That's why he's the King.

"It's fun when you feel like you are doing your part and then there are moments where the team steps up and scores the big goals," he said.
