Henrik Lundqvist is the only goalie in NHL history to post 30-or-more wins in each of his first five NHL seasons, and the first Rangers goaltender in team history to post five straight 30-win seasons... Captured a gold medal with Team Sweden at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy... and considered one of the top goaltenders in the game.
