Lundqvist’s number heading to the rafters of Madison Square Garden is the first step of his post-career accolades. The Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto will undoubtedly be next.
During his stellar career, Lundqvist appeared in 882 games — all in a Rangers’ sweater. Thought he signed with the Washington Capitals before the 2021 season, he wasn’t able to play because of a heart condition that required surgery.
Lundqvist is the Rangers’ franchise regular-season leader in games (882), wins (459), saves (23,509) and save percentage (.918).
