Lundqvist was the diffrence in Sunday's Game 6 when he stopped 27 shots for his seventh NHL playoff shutout.
"We needed it. There was desperation out there," Lundqvist said. "We showed a lot of character and worked really hard. It was that type of game where you pay the price - big saves, physical. Great win."
The Rangers played Game 6 with little room for error; if they lost they would have been eliminated from the playoffs. They played a very composed, orginized and disciplined game in which they took no penalties. Now the Rangers hope that can carry over to Game 7 on Monday night in Washington, where they have lost three times in this tight series. The home team has won all six games.
"They play really well at home and they're confident," Lundqvist said. "The games we've played in that building, special teams have played a big part. We played a really disciplined game, and that's going to be key for us because they have a really good power play, so you have to respect that.
"Play hard, but play smart."
"We are just going to have the same mentality we had coming into this game," Lundqvist said. "We just played our game, had fun. The guys were relaxed, and that's what we need to do (Monday)."
