NEW YORK (AP) -- Florida's Olli Jokinen took his best shot at Henrik Lundqvist a few minutes after the New York Rangers' rookie shut out the Panthers.

"We made him look good,'' Jokinen said.

Lundqvist, starting in place of the injured Kevin Weekes, made 23 saves Monday night for his first NHL shutout, and Jaromir Jagr scored twice on two-man power plays in the Rangers' 4-0 victory over the Panthers.

"He's a proven goalie in Europe, but we played 50 minutes of hockey and had 13 shots,'' Jokinen said. "We can't give him credit. He's probably happy he got his first shutout in the NHL, but we made him look good. We really didn't test that guy.''

With Weekes sidelined by a groin injury, Lundqvist has won three straight games after opening his NHL career with an overtime loss to New Jersey.
