Forget the new NHL and its wide-open offense when the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins get together. These games harken back to their Original Six days. For the fifth time in nine meetings between the longtime rivals, one goal was enough to settle things. Marian Gaborik got it on his return to the lineup following a right leg injury and Henrik Lundqvist made it stand up in the Rangers’ 1-0 win Sunday.
“It was a fun game,” Lundqvist said after his 150th NHL victory and 21st career shutout. “This is what I was used to last year … low scoring and tight. I got a little spoiled this year. We have been scoring a lot.”
