Henrik Lundqvist was in the same spot that the Rangers’ current star goalie, Igor Shesterkin, is in now: going into the final year of his contract.
Life after a 15-year run as the franchise goalie of the New York Rangers is still as busy as ever for Henrik Lundqvist .
Alongside some of sports most prominent figures such as NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnnson, World Series champion Roger Clemens, NFL Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, NBA Hall of Famer Gary Payton and others, Lundqvist said he looks forward to a special night benefiting the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis.“I really enjoy life right now, the things I’m doing,” Lundqvist told The Post over the phone Sunday, the serenity in his voice unmistakable.
Lundqvist eventually signed a seven-year, $59.5 million contract in December 2013 to become the highest-paid netminder in the league at the time with a cap hit of $8.5 million.And the largest contract for a goalie now belongs to the Montreal Canadiens’ Carey Price at $10.5 million per year.“I think you set a standard for yourself,” said Lundqvist, who will be featured on MSG for select games again this season. “You put a certain amount of pressure on yourself, so it doesn’t matter.
