Former New York Rangers G Henrik Lundqvist joins Washington Capitals (Report)

Former New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist is joining the Washington Capitals. TSN reported on Friday that the legendary goalie is Washington bound on a one-year, $1.5 million deal.

The final year of Lundqvist’s seven-year deal was bought out by the Rangers on Sept. 30 after it was reported that both sides agreed to a mutual separation.

Lundqvist made it clear that he still wants to play and it was obvious that he would seek to go to a contender while staying close to his family in New York.
