You simply cannot stop Oscar Lindberg, you can only hope to contain him.The rookie center who’s in between J.T. Miller and Viktor Stalberg on the New York Rangers’ third-line tallied two more goals to his 2015-16 NHL ledger for a grand total of four on the season.
The kid has four goals over his first three career games.

He helped New York come away with the 5-2 victory in their home opener. They’re now a perfect 3-0 on the season and have beaten the Columbus Blue Jackets in two straight nights.
Henrik Lundqvist was stellar once again. He stopped 37 shots on a night it appeared he saw everything come his direction.
His night also included this save, one that’ll be thrown into the discussion for save of the year:
Henrik!!!
