Lundqvist suffered MCL sprain at World Championship
New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist sustained a Grade 1 MCL sprain at the World Championship in May, the team confirmed to Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
The injury is not believed to be serious and the Rangers don't expect any disruption in Lundqvist's offseason training or preparation, adds Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Lundqvist backstopped Sweden to a gold medal victory over Canada in a shootout, raising questions as to whether the injury was sustained after William Nylander tackled him in the ensuing celebration.
According to TSN's Ray Ferraro - who covered the tournament from between the benches - the issue arose late in the semifinal match, leaving Lundqvist "iffy" to play in the final to begin with.
Lundqvist made 42 saves in the win over Canada, and stopped all four attempts in the shootout.
