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.”
