Henrik Lundqvist recently told a Swedish newspaper (Sport Express) that he damaged ligaments in his knee playing at the World Championship. He will be able to do “nothing” to start his summer while rehabbing his knee for four to six weeks.
Lundqvist expressed that the injury was well worth it because he managed to win gold with his brother Joel. He also mentioned that he hoped the 2017 Worlds wasn’t his last time playing with Tre Kronor (the Swedish national team) and again expressed his disappointment about NHL players not being able to participate in the Pyeongchang games because it is bad for hockey.
