Henrik Lundqvist wore this blue jersey while playing for the New York Rangers during Brian Leetch Night on January 24, 2008 at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY. It includes the #2 Patch. Lundqvist wore this jersey during the first period of the game, in which the Rangers defeated the Atlanta Thrashers, 2-1. "King Henrik" retired on August 20, 2021, marking the end of a legendary career as one of the top goalies in Rangers history. The 2012 Vezina Trophy winner twice posted double-digit shutout totals in a single season, leading the league in 2007-08 and 2010-11. Lundqvist's greatest strength was his seemingly endless lack of stamina, playing over 74% of his team's games in goal over the course of his career without wavering from his dominant best. He carried the Rangers through multiple playoff campaigns, including to the 2014 Stanley Cup Final, despite the team's penchant for playing close games night-in, night-out for years. Lundqvist is also the NHL's all-time leader in wins by a European goaltender.
