If the NHL season is unable to resume following the coronavirus pandemic-related pause, New York Rangers fans may have to prepare themselves for the possibility that goaltender Henrik Lundqvist won't be with the franchise when it returns to the ice.

The 38-year-old goalie, who has been the face of the franchise for the better part of the past decade, is a prime candidate for a buyout. According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, the Rangers are likely to move forward with the tandem of Igor Shesterkin and Alex Georgiev in net.
