Henrik Lundqvist was forced out of Sweden's lineup for the team's first game of the World Cup of Hockey against Russia. That opened the door for Jacob Markstrom of the Vancouver Canucks to take his spot between the pipes.
Not only was it a big opportunity for Markstrom to show what he can do on a big international stage, it was our first chance to get a good look at his awesome goalie mask, which may feature the most unique design of any mask in the tournament.
The lid, painted by renowned goalie mask artist David Gunnarsson, prominently features Swedish soccer legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
