Henrik Lundqvist back in goal for the Rangers

New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist will start against the Dallas Stars on Thursday.

What It Means:

Antti Raanta had started four straight games for the Rangers, but picked up his first loss in that stretch on Tuesday, leading the Rangers to go back to Lundqvist in goal. Lundqvist has had a shaky start to the season, with a 2.55 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage -- his lowest mark since the 2008-2009 season.

We project Lundqvist for 26.4 saves, 2.6 goals against and a 60.0 percent chance of recording a win in his return to action. We have him projected as the seventh-highest fantasy scorer among the 16 starting goalies that will take the ice tonight.
