Henrik Lundqvist was sensational yesterday and as a result Sweden won the 2017 World Championship of hockey.

Thanks to a massive victory over Canada Lundqvist is now a Stanley Cup away from being the first goaltender to become a member of the triple gold club (Olympic gold, World Championship gold and Stanley Cup).

Lundqvist stopped 42 of the 43 shots he faced through regulation and an overtime period. The only goal he allowed came on Canada’s power play. In the shootout Lundqvist foiled three Canadian shooters and was helped out by his post on a fourth before his teammates sealed the deal.
