Analysis: Avalanche could look into acquiring “King” Henrik Lundqvist
Henrik Lundqvist (30) of the New York Rangers reacts to winning the Ticketmaster NHL Save Streak during the 2019 SAP NHL All-Star Skills at SAP Center on Jan. 25, 2019 in San Jose, California. Jared Bednar expects goalie Philipp Grubauer to turn it around — just like he did last season. The Avalanche coach believes his No. 1 goalie to begin the season will bounce back from a mid-season funk and re-establish himself as a strength for a playoff-bound team.
But if that doesn’t happen, and the Avs aren’t convinced backup Pavel Francouz can carry the load, they might have a trade option in acquiring future Hall of Fame goalie Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers in a short-term marriage.
