Tortorella insists that Lundqvist is 'fine'
Henrik Lundqvist - G - New York Rangers

Henrik Lundqvist didn't participate in Wednesday's optional skate, but coach John Tortorella quickly dismissed any doubts about his number one goalie's health by saying that Lundqvist is "fine."
Lundqvist complained that he experienced a headache and may have tweaked his neck after being hit by teammate Dan Girardi's elbow. However, the fact that he didn't skate shouldn't set off alarm bells because he probably wouldn't have been out there anyway after starting back-to-back games for the Rangers on Monday and Tuesday. Don't be surprised if Martin Biron gets the nod Thursday though.
