Henrik Lundqvist played most of season with left knee injury

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Henrik Lundqvist played nearly all season with a bothersome left knee, the Rangers goaltender revealed Tuesday on breakup day at the team’s practice facility. It is the same knee he injured last summer at the World Championships while playing for Sweden.

“Physically, I’ve been dealing with a knee injury, pretty much all year,’’ Lundqvist said. “It’s been under control, but it’s definitely something I need to address now. I’ll meet with the doctors here, then (in the) next couple days, (have an) MRI, and make sure I do all the right things to be 100 percent when I start my training, preparation for next season.
