Henrik Lundqvist on the road to recovery, what will his future be?

In December, future Hall of Fame goalie Henrik Lundqvist made a heartbreaking announcement that he would not be able to play for the Capitals this season.

“It breaks my heart (literally) to share this news: I will not be joining the Capitals this upcoming season,” Lundqvist said in a personal statement on Thursday released via Twitter. “After many weeks of tests and conversations with specialists around the country, it’s been determined that a heart condition will prevent me from taking the ice. Together, we have decided that the risk of playing before remedying my condition is too high, so I will spend the coming months figuring out the best course of action.
