Henrik-Lundqvist;-New-York-Rangers

Henrik Lundqvist took a puck to the throat against Carolina, but finished the game and played in New York's next one too.

Henrik Lundqvist is expected to miss the next three-to-four weeks with a vascular injury and, in his absence, the New York Rangers will lean on Cam Talbot in net.

Last Saturday, Lundqvist took a puck to the throat against the Carolina Hurricanes, but remained in the game and played two nights later against the Florida Panthers.

Even Lundqvist had a little fun with it after the game on Twitter.
