After a forced retirement in 2021 due to open-heart surgery, we've seen Henrik Lundqvist return to the hockey stage as a TNT analyst, but no one ever quite expected to see him on the ice again.

A triumphant return

However, it has now been announced that the Rangers legend will suit up for one final game as he takes part in the Hockey Hall of Fame Legends Classic to take place on November 12 in Toronto.

The 42-year old may not have won a Stanley Cup in New York, but he's considered one of the best goaltenders to ever play the game, and is regarded by many as a New York sports icon, and now, he shows it off one last time.

A fantastic career

Over 15 years with the Rangers, Lundqvist appeared in 887 games, tallying a record of 459-310-96 with a 2.43 GAA and a .918 save percentage, winning a Vezina Trophy and tallying multiple All-Star game appearances.

Without a Cup, it's unlikely that he'll ever be considered a top-2 or 3 goaltender of all-time, but with such consistency over a long, brilliant career, he's considered a legend in the game, and this game will be an opportunity for many to see their hero for the last time on the ice.
