Henrik Lundqvist has kept relatively quiet this summer while recovering from an injury he sustained during his highlight-reel performance in Team Sweden's IIHF World Championship win.

He's coming back into the spotlight, however, in style. (His second straight appearance on Sports Illustrated's "Fashionable 50" wasn't enough.)

Promoting a partnership with Bauer Hockey in advance of the 2017-18 NHL season, the New York Rangers goalie shared on Instagram the pads he plans to wear. They're not only a slick representation of the Big Apple but, perhaps, the coolest goalie pads to date.

This is why he's called "The King."
