Lehner thrilled to beat childhood idol
Robin Lehner - G - Ottawa Senators
March 9, 2013 - 10:50 AM ET

Robin Lehner was thrilled to defeat the Rangers and his childhood idol, Henrik Lundqvist Friday night.

Lehner's father coached Lundqvist in Sweden and young Robin idolized King Henrik while soaking up the same lessons. It's a nice story for the Sens' rookie goaltender. It will be interesting to see if Ottawa coach Paul MacLean goes back to him for Monday's home game against Boston.
