Henrik Lundqvist will face Panthers Thursday
Henrik Lundqvist - G - New York Rangers
March 21, 2013 - 1:20 PM ET

Henrik Lundqvist will start Thursday night when the Rangers host Florida.

He's fine to play after suffering a headache and a stiff neck from a collision with teammate Dan Girardi on Tuesday. "My neck was a little sore but the headaches went away," said Lundqvist, who rested Wednesday. "I talked to the trainers and they were pretty convinced it was more just when I snapped my neck." The Rangers could have gone with Martin Biron rather than give the nod for the third time in four nights, but the club does need to string together some victories to remain in a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
