It's Game 6 of the New Jersey Devils-New York Rangers series and, for some reason, there seems to be almost as much attention being paid to a game that took place 18 years ago.

Eighteen years ago, Mark Messier set the stage for one of sports' most dramatic moments. On the eve of the New York Rangers' must-win Game 6 against the Devils in New Jersey in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, Messier guaranteed his team would force a deciding contest back at Madison Square Garden.
Last season was arguably King Lundqvist's best as he racked up 36 wins - 11 shutouts - to go along with a .923 save percentage and 2.28 goals-against average. He performed extremely well down the stretch and became the only NHL goalie to begin his career with six straight 30-win seasons. Clearly, this has helped him stake out a spot as one of the top goalies in the league. With a young supporting cast working in front of him, Lundqvist will need to be brilliant more often than not in 2011-12. Moreover, Martin Biron's presence as the backup enables Lundqvist to play a more reasonable 65 games instead of the 70-plus that he had been accustomed to the last few seasons. Any way you slice it, Lundqvist will be among the first five twine tenders taken in fantasy drafts, so plan accordingly. (Updated 10/4/11)
