Lundqvist will start Saturday in Nashville.
Lundqvist stopped all 27 shots that he faced in the Rangers’ shutout win in Dallas on Thursday. It was a great way for Lundqvist to reassert himself in the Rangers’ crease after sitting four four consecutive games. Tonight he will take on a Nashville team that has struggled in December, making him a great option again.

Talbot allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Oilers’ loss to the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Talbot has gone 3-1-2 with a 2.62 GAA and .912 SV% in six starts this month and is 7-7-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .917 SV% on home-ice this season.
