He said that while he didn't have a lot to do but with a "high level of anxiety" that came with the game he sweat a lot.
Henrik said that the hardest part of the game was staying focused but that is normally the case after a long break.
He said that he felt that he was making the right decisions in pressure situations and that he was happy with how the team performed overall.
Henrik noted that with the limited time to prepare before the tournament starts you have to take advantage of every opportunity to get to the right level of play.
Lundqvist said that he picked up the first goal against him late as one of his forwards was trying to block the shot.

Today in NYR History September 12
2005: Mark Messier announces his retirement after 25 seasons in the NHL.
Though Messier is a key to the Edmonton Oilers' dynasty, which wins the Stanley Cup five times in seven seasons from 1983-90, he makes a bigger splash with the New York Rangers after being acquired in a trade in October 1991. Messier wins the Hart Trophy as MVP in his first season with the Rangers; two years later, he scores the winning goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Vancouver Canucks to give New York its first championship since 1940.
Messier finishes his NHL career with 1,887 points (694 goals) in 1,756 games. Only Wayne Gretzky has more points, and only Gordie Howe has played in more games.
"It's been a long career and I've achieved a lot," the 44-year-old says. "There was nothing really left of me to achieve."
The Rangers announce that they will retire his jersey on Jan. 12, 2006, prior to a game against the Oilers.
2007: The Rangers win the 2007 Traverse City Prospects Tournament, defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets, 5-1.
