Lundqvist is 34 years old. You can set your watch by his .920 save percentage, a number he hasn't failed to reach since 2008-09. He has four more years remaining on his contract and 386 career wins; barring injury, he should crack 500 career victories and finish behind only Patrick Roy (551), Martin Brodeur (691) on the all-time list.It's important to understand that while Lundqvist already is among the all-time greats and has hints of gray in his exceptional beard, time hasn't passed him by yet. It will, and he's certainly closer to the end of his career than the beginning. Still, Lundqvist's .912 save percentage through 21 games this season appears worse than it really is mostly because of years of consistent dominance. Yes, he has allowed a few more soft goals than usual over the first two months, but the Rangers were banking points at such a high rate that allowing Lundqvist to work through his glitches would have made all the sense in the world.Read More: It's Time For The NHL To Rethink Its Playoff Format
