After giving up 12 goals in his last two games, Henrik Lundqvist returned to his All-Star form Friday, leading the Rangers to a win in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Tampa.
Lundqvist stopped 18 of 19 shots in the second period, keeping his team in the game. He would finish with 38 saves.
The Ranger offense then broke through on goals by Chris Kreider and Keith Yandle less than two minutes apart late in the second period to give the Blueshirts a 3-1 lead.
Rick Nash also scored twice, and the Rangers went on to beat the Lightning 5-1 and even the series at two games apiece.
Game 5 will be at the Garden Sunday night. Game 6 will be back in Florida Tuesday. If necessary, Game 7 will be back in New York next Friday.
