Lundqvist (lower body) will miss 2-to-3 weeks.
The original prognosis on Lundqvist wasn't so gloomy, as he was only expected to miss Thursday's game against the Hurricanes -- which he did -- but now the acclaimed backstop could see as few as four games left in the regular season upon returning. Magnus Hellberg has been summoned from AHL Hartford as an emergency replacement and we'd be surprised if the King doesn't wind up on IR.
