Henrik Lundqvist to sit out 2020-21 season due to a heart condition

Henrik Lundqvist will not play for the Washington Capitals this season.

The former Rangers netminder announced on Twitter Thursday that after consulting with physicians, he will sit out the 2020-21 season due to a heart condition, saying “the risk of playing before remedying my condition is too high.”


Lundqvist signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Capitals in October after the Rangers bought out the final year of his deal. "King Henrik" had been a Blueshirt his entire career until that point, breaking into the NHL in 2005 and becoming the Rangers’ all-time leader in wins (459) and save percentage over 15 seasons.
