Henrik Lundqvist continues to pad his resume as one of the best to ever defend the blue paint.
The veteran netminder earned the 404th win of his career on Tuesday night, as his New York Rangers took down the Florida Panthers by a score of 5-2.
In doing so, Lundqvist moved past Hall of Famer Grant Fuhr in the history books, taking sole possession of 10th place on the all-time wins list. The longtime Rangers starter topped Fuhr's win count in 132 fewer games - an impressive feat considering the star-studded teams Fuhr played on.
The victory was also the Swede's 30th of the season, giving him 11 seasons of 30 or more wins in his career - the only outlier being the lockout-shortened 2012-13 campaign, wherein Lundqvist earned an impressive 24 wins in 43 games.
Netting No. 404 certainly wasn't easy.
Lundqvist turned aside 43 shots from the Panthers, enduring goals from Thomas Vanek and Aaron Ekblad in the process.
The 35-year-old will almost certainly move up one more spot before the season's end, as Glen Hall holds the ninth-most all-time wins with 407. The Rangers have 15 games remaining on the year, plenty of chances for their star netminder to continue to climb the all-time ladder.
