As of Wednesday's won match, Lundqvist has had about 454 wins in the North American league. That's as many as Curtis Joseph came up with when he stood for St. Louis and Edmonton in the 1990s, and is divided fifth place in the goalkeepers' marathon table.
With his 868th match the other day, the 37-year-old also entered the goalkeepers' top ten over most played matches in the league.
Two other Swedish profiles, Washington's Nicklas Bäckström, and Rangers Mika Zibanejad, had to stand over Wednesday's meeting because of injuries.
Despite the result, the Rangers are struggling far down the limping NHL table, while Washington leads.
In Wednesday's second match, Ottawa won over Montreal by 2-1.
