Lundqvist Named Top Shootout Goalie in East

John Kreiser at NHL.com reports that the top shootout goalies from the East come from New York and New Jersey...

"The Rangers have had seven lifetime shootouts against Brodeur and the Devils and have won four; Lundqvist and Brodeur have split six decisions. Lundqvist's 18-14 career record isn't as good as Brodeur's, but his .760 save percentage is the best among goaltenders who've faced 70 or more shots."

...i thought Lundqvist had a tough time with shootouts last year. Having said that, there's no other goalie in the league I'd rather have between the pipes during a shootout than Lundqvist.
