Henrik Lundqvist to the Hockey Hall of Fame

Henrik Lundqvist played his entire 15-season career with the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League. This weekend the Ranger icon will be enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.  

The star goaltender is being inducted in his first year of eligibility to the Hockey Hall of Fame. He’s sixth in NHL history in wins (459), ninth in games (887) and 17th in shutouts (64).

Those 459 victories are the most by a European goalie. The first Swedish goaltender to be inducted, Lundqvist won 61 more times in the playoffs before his career ended in 2020 because of a heart condition.

Selected in the seventh round by New York at the 2000 NHL draft, he backstopped the Rangers to the 2014 Stanley Cup final. He won Olympic gold with Sweden in 2006.

Jets Are Helpless Against Bills

The New York Jets scored their first touchdown in 13 quarters on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, but any additional highlights were few and far between.

The Jets fell behind early and dropped a 32-6 decision on the road in Orchard Park. The offense netted only 155 yards and starting quarterback Zach Wilson was yanked late in the third quarter in favor of backup Tim Boyle.

“I don’t think anyone did anything today: Players, coaches, schemes. It was obviously not good enough. None of it was good enough,” said Jets’ third-year head coach Robert Saleh.

Prior to the benching, Wilson went 7-of-15 passing for 81 yards. He suffered five sacks.

Boyle wasn’t any more effective than Wilson, totaling 33 pass yards on 14 attempts. As a team, including an 18-yard completion by punter Thomas Morstead, the Jets averaged 4.4 yards per pass for the game. Gang Green was successful on 0 of 11 third down attempts.
