Henrik Lundqvist’s open heart surgery was successful and the former Rangers goaltender is recovering after the procedure, he announced on his social media accounts.
"Day 3. Surgery went really well. About 5 hours to get it all taken care of. Really appreciate the great staff here at the Clevland [sic] Clinic. Last few days has been pretty crazy but feel like I’m in really good hands. Every day is a step in the right direction.’’
