New York Rangers head into NHL All-Star break on high note
The New York Rangers and goalie Henrik Lundqvist took care of business last night in their last game before the NHL All-Star break, defeating the Winnipeg Jets, 3-0 at Madison Square Garden. The shutout was the 40th of Lundqvist’s career. With 47 of 82 games in the books, the team has sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers return to action this Tuesday in New Jersey, but won’t be back at Madison Square Garden until February 5th when they host division rival Philadelphia Flyers.

Photo of the Week #115
My choice for this week’s photo is a shot of a gleeful Henrik Lundqvist after his 3-0 shutout of the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Lundqvist, the New York Rangers’ star goalie, has been the backbone of his hockey team this year, allowing only 1.93 goals per game. With more than half the season behind them, the Rangers sit in first place in the Eastern Conference.

Winter in Brooklyn
Finally, the first snowfall of winter here in New York City! Better late than never, right? To mark this snowy occasion, here are some winter photos from a project I shot for the Brooklyn Children’s Museum a few years back. The permanent exhibit, “Neighborhood Nature,” features a small number of photos printed at a very large scale (as big as 38 feet wide and 14 feet tall). The thousands of other photos had been hiding in my computer until I started posting them to this blog by season, first this past summer and then in the fall. Enjoy these winter photos, keep warm, and I’ll post the spring photos in a few months!

Goalie Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves for his 4th shutout and 20th win of the season. The Rangers remain atop the NHL leaderboard with 62 points and hope to keep it that way when they face the Pittsburgh Penguins tomorrow at MSG. Photos by Avi Gerver, ©Madison Square Garden, L.P.
