It turns out that Henrik Lundqvist didn't just make the game-winning save for Sweden in the IIHF World Championship in May.
He also did it while he was hurt.
After announcing Saturday that he suffered an injury during Sweden's international gold-medal run, Lundqvist and the New York Rangers confirmed to the NHL that the longtime goalie will spend between four and six weeks recovering from a Grade 1 MCL sprain.
The "King" was not able to lift the Rangers past the Ottawa Senators in the Stanley Cup playoffs this season, but he isn't expected to miss any significant time in preparing for another postseason run in 2017-18 because of the injury, according to the league.
The Rangers confirmed a report by Swedish website expressen.se and said they don't expect any issues with Lundqvist going forward.
