“#Henrik Lundqvist’s big message as Capitals rumor swirls<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n King Henrik wants to rule elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still love to compete. I still love the game<\/a> and I still want to WIN!\u201d Henrik Lundqvist tweeted Sunday, leaving little doubt the 38-year-old goaltender is willing to play for another team after the Rangers ended his remarkable run on Broadway with a contractual buyout last week.<\/p>\n

One option could be the Capitals, who are interested in adding their former playoff nemesis, according to Sportsnet<\/a>, in what would likely be a backup role.<\/p>\n

The Capitals, who are in the Rangers\u2019 division and faced Lundqvist five times in the postseason, are expected to let longtime goalie Braden Holtby become an unrestricted free agent, which would make Ilya Samsonov the starter following an impressive 16-6-2 rookie season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether Lundqvist would be willing to become a full-time backup, though it may be his only choice given that his play has regressed with age.<\/p>\n

The opportunity to win his first Stanley Cup might make Lundqvist, who won 459 games in 15 seasons, open to such a role.<\/p>\n
