HENRIK SEDIN COLLECTS 800TH CAREER ASSIST
Henrik Sedin earned an assist on Alexander Burmistrov’s second-period goal to become the 31st player in NHL history (third active) to reach 800 career assists. Sedin also became just the second Swedish-born player to hit the mark, joining Nicklas Lidstrom (878).

LEHTONEN, LUNDQVIST REACH GOALTENDING MILESTONES
Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen and Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist both reached goaltending milestones on Wednesday night.

Lehtonen made 32 saves en route to becoming the 33rd goaltender in NHL history (sixth active) and second in as many nights (Cam Ward at VGK on Dec. 12) to earn 300 career NHL wins. He (624 GP) surpassed Miikka Kiprusoff (623 GP) for most appearances by a Finnish-born goaltender, while also joining Kiprusoff (319 wins) as the only Finnish netminders in League history to reach the 300-win milestone.

Henrik Lundqvist became the 15th goaltender to record 20,000 career saves (since the statistic was officially tracked starting in 1955-56). Of note, three goaltenders with 20,000+ recorded saves started their careers prior to the stat officially being tracked (Glenn Hall, Gump Worsley, Jacques Plante).
