“#Henrik Lundqvist feeling strong after heart surgery<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Henrik Lundqvist said he is feeling well a month after undergoing open heart surgery, which forced him to opt out of this NHL season and may mark the end of his Hall of Fame career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not sure what to expect the first month after surgery,\u201d the former Rangers franchise goalie tweeted. \u201c4 weeks today and I feel strong, both body and mind filled with positive energy. Recovery is going well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lundqvist, who signed with the Capitals in the offseason, added in a video from a sidewalk in Manhattan: \u201cI feel good, good energy, moving around. Hope you guys are well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though it was previously undisclosed, Lundqvist has long had a heart condition that was monitored by the Rangers during his 15-year career in New York.<\/p>\n

In December, following more tests, Lundqvist revealed the condition had worsened and required surgery. It was unclear whether Lundqvist underwent a physical before signing a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Washington.<\/p>\n

The Rangers bought out the final year of his seven-year, $59 million pact \u2014 following the emergence of two younger, cheaper goaltenders in Igor Shesterkin and Alexandar Georgiev.<\/p>\n

Lundqvist was set to back up Ilya Samsonov in Washington, where he hoped to win his first Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

Instead he was placed on long-term injured reserve. Though Lundqvist will make his full salary, the Capitals were granted salary cap relief, according to CapFriendly.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

A five-time NHL All-Star and Olympic gold medalist with Sweden in 2006, Lundqvist went 459-310-96 with a 2.43 goals against average and .918 save percentage in 887 game<\/a>s with the Rangers. He is the franchise\u2019s goalie leader in games, wins and shutouts (64).<\/p>\n

Lundqvist led the Rangers to the Stanley Cup Final in 2014 before falling to the Kings in five games.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
