Lundqvist spent his entire 15-year career with the Rangers, compiling a 459-310-96 record, 2.43 goals-against average and .918 save percentage. He won the Art Ross Trophy during the 2005-06 season, the Vezina during the 2011-12 season and was named an All-Star twice.

The 39-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Washington Capitals in October 2020 but never played a game from the franchise after undergoing open-heart surgery. He announced his retirement from hockey in August 2021, and the Rangers announced in September that his number would be retired.
