All hail The King.
Henrik Lundqvist added another page to his Game 7 legacy by absolutely stonewalling Tyler Johnson with a brilliant pad save late in the second period.
Johnson, the leading scorer in the postseason with 12 goals heading into the series-deciding contest against the New York Rangers, appeared to be on the verge of opening the scoring for his Tampa Bay Lightning after receiving a perfect pass from linemate Nikita Kucherov.
Until Lundqvist said "nah," that is.
The game remained scoreless after 40 minutes, with Tampa Bay holding a 19-11 advantage in shots, and few more threatening than this chance from Johnson.
