"Casino Night 2010 a True Blue Success"
One of the most appreciative Rangers on Monday was goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who was taking part in his fifth Casino Night and his first since becoming an official Garden of Dreams spokesperson last year.
“I'm so proud to be a part of Garden of Dreams and that they wanted me as a spokesperson,” said Lundqvist. “It feels really good, and it's always fun to meet so many fans who have been around for such a long time, but I guess I feel a little more responsibility to make sure everybody has a good time now.”
Lundqvist made both the fans and GDF a winner on Monday, particularly when it came to the grand finale of the live auction. An autographed Lundqvist Swedish Olympic jersey, presented to the winner by Lundqvist himself, went for $5,250 on the heels of another intense bidding for Marian Gaborik’s signed Team Slovakia Olympic jersey, which brought in another $4,500 for the Foundation.

2010 Olympics - Team Sweden
Sweden is the defending gold medalist from the Turin games in 2006, and they will certainly be in the hunt to repeat.
Lundqvist is the starter for sure and he was the goalie when they won the gold medal in 2006. He is one of the best in the world and will be a major reason for Sweden's success in Vancouver. Markstrom is a young phenom that has torn apart the SEL and deserves the backup role.

Rangers 3, Devils 1 - 2/6/10
Lundqvist made 41 saves and Ryan Callahan sparked a three-goal outburst in the second period as the Rangers beat the New Jersey Devils 3-1 on Saturday night.
Callahan, Marian Gaborik and Chris Drury scored for the Rangers, who ended a two-game losing streak with only their second win in the last nine games.
But the key for the Rangers was Lundqvist, who ended a personal six-game losing streak and improved his record to 17-6-5 against New Jersey.
“I just tried to battle the last two weeks,” said Lundqvist. “I have been working hard. It was an intense game, fun to play in and big relief to get a win at home. It is a big one for us to get, in a lot of ways.”
Playing, and beating, the Devils added a little extra spice.
“Obviously, everybody in the room gets pretty jacked up playing against the Devils,” Callahan said. “I think Hank was. When you know he is on his game, we’re going to have a great chance to win. It was uplifting to see Hank play like that.”

Rangers 1, Kings 2 - 2/2/10
Both teams had better scoring chances in the second period, with Lundqvist and Quick both performing impressively. Lundqvist bookended his fine second period with a pair of terrific saves. First he made a lightning-quick save with his left pad after Brad Richardson intercepted a Dan Girardi pass in the slot just 22 seconds into the period. And then Lundqvist closed out the middle stanza by robbing Randy Jones on a one-timer by bursting across the crease from right-to-left with 23.4 seconds left.
Jones was denied on several good chances in the second by Lundqvist, in particular during the Kings’ two power plays in the period. Jarret Stoll also fell victim to Lundqvist on a pair of booming power play shots.
“He played good,” Tortorella said of Lundqvist. “After a few days off, he played very well.”
Perhaps the best save for Quick came 3:05 into the third period when he held his ground and denied Gaborik on a partial break off a head-man pass by Prospal. He also made a gem of a stop with 11 seconds left in the game when he smothered Ryan Callahan’s perfect deflection down low.
“It’s tough, that tip I had from Vinny I thought I had a chance at (Quick’s) five-hole, but he made a good stop,” said Callahan. “We made a good push there at the end, but I guess a little too little too late.”
The Rangers return home and are back in action at Madison Square Garden on Thursday when they host the Washington Capitals.

Rangers end 5-game slide with 3-1 win over Avs!

DENVER — Marian Gaborik 3, Colorado Avalanche 1.
Gaborik had his 10th career hat trick, Chad Johnson made 34 saves for his first NHL win, and the Rangers ended a five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Avalanche on Sunday night. "It's a boost of energy for this club and myself as well to finally get a win and feel good about ourselves," Gaborik said.
The hat trick was Gaborik's first since he had five goals for Minnesota against the Rangers on Dec. 20, 2007. He joined the Rangers as a free agent over the summer after spending his first eight seasons in Minnesota.
"Any time a guy scores a hat trick, it's a good offensive night," Colorado left wing T.J. Galiardi said. "We've got to know a guy like that is going to be a threat all night and he burned us."
Gaborik's first goal gave him 500 career points and his second gave him his sixth multi-goal game of the season. He has four goals in his last two games and 33 overall, the sixth time in nine NHL campaigns that he has had 30 or more.
He completed the hat trick on a breakaway with 10:43 left in the third period.
"You could tell right from the start that he had that jump, he had that swagger," Johnson said. "He was beating guys wide, having control of the puck. The other guys look up to a guy like him to lead the way and when he's playing his best hockey, I think other guys pick it up and follow his lead.

"All it takes sometimes is one guy to kind of lead the team, pick'em up and put them on his shoulders, and Gabby was unbelievable tonight. He did that."
Johnson wasn't bad himself. Playing just his fourth career game - he was filling in for Henrik Lundqvist (stomach ailment) - Johnson just missed a shutout, giving up Cody McLeod's goal with 7:21 to play.
After the game, Lundqvist dropped the game puck into Johnson's glove and congratulated him on his first career victory.
