Origin
and identity

Henrik Lundqvist brought Swedish goaltending excellence to New York and became a defining Rangers player.

Lundqvist established himself with Frolunda before arriving in New York in 2005. A thirty-win rookie season announced his ability, and the Rangers remained the only NHL team for which he played a game.

His Vezina Trophy season and a trip to the 2014 Stanley Cup Final formed major NHL chapters. For Sweden, Olympic gold in 2006 and a world championship in 2017 added the international achievements of a widely recognized goaltender.
