The King is still coming.
New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist has debunked reports suggesting he would be skipping the World Cup after suffering an injury at a charity golf tournament.
He did, however, admit to being a little banged up in a recent practice.
"A few days ago I took a puck right to the rib cage when my equipment somehow moved," Lundqvist told Larry Brooks of the New York Post. "I did have some discomfort, and it’s sore and stiff and probably will be for a while, but I’m OK."
Lundqvist has been a force for Sweden at major international tournaments over the years, winning gold and silver at two Winter Olympics and a pair of silvers from separate World Championship events.
