Legendary NHL goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was bought out of the final years of his contract with the New York Rangers for salary cap purposes.
After leaving New York, Lundqvist signed a one-year with the Washington Capitals. Unfortunately, before he ever played a game for the Capitals, a medical condition ultimately ended his incredible career.
''King Henrik'' as they call him, finished his NHL career appearing in 857 games, all with the Rangers. In that time, he collected a 459-310-96 record, a 2.43 goals-against-average, a .918 save percentage and 64 shutouts. He also holds 14 NHL/New York Rangers records, including being the only goaltender in league history to record 30 wins in each of his first seven seasons.
His #30 was retired by the franchise on January 28th, 2022. Lundqvist has always been known as a Ranger, and it appears he would like to keep it that way, even after his playing days.
Lundqvist and the Rangers recently announced that 'King Henrik' would be returning to his thrown in NYC.
As per Rangers PR:
''Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS) (''MSG Sports'') and Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) (''MSG Entertainment'') announced today that New York Rangers legend Henrik Lundqvist will be joining both organizations in a unique new role that helps support business operations for each company. In this position, Lundqvist will be involved in numerous areas, including representing MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment in a variety of partner and sponsorship endeavours, assisting with content development for digital platforms across both companies, growing and strengthening the connection with Rangers alumni, as well as lending his support with the Garden of Dreams Foundation. In addition, Lundqvist will once again be a lead studio analyst on MSG Network throughout the Rangers season.''
