Kings of the world.

A shootout victory over Canada at the world championships captured gold for Sweden, goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, and his lesser-known twin brother, Joel.

Henrik, of course, is the mainstay between the pipes for the New York Rangers. But Joel doesn't have the same star power as the Broadway netminder.

Drafted by the Dallas Stars in 2000 - 137 selections before Henrik - Joel made his NHL debut in 2006. He spent part of three seasons with the Stars, totaling 26 points in 134 games, before returning to Sweden to play out his career.

While Joel's time in the NHL was short-lived, his success on the international stage has been much more decorated. Sunday's gold-medal win at the worlds was his third first-place finish, while he also has three bronze medals to his name from international competitions.

As for Henrik, the gold-medal victory ends his year on a high note, after his Rangers were bounced in the second round of the NHL playoffs. He later joined the Swedish squad as a late addition.

"There were five, six reasons why I came here, and it turned out (to be) an amazing time for me," Henrik told TSN. "To come and play with my brother, to win this, just a great group to be part of, I knew that coming here."
