New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist sustained a Grade 1 MCL sprain at the World Championship in May, the team confirmed to Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
The injury is not believed to be serious and Lundqvist is expected to be ready for training camp after some summer rehabilitation.
Lundqvist backstopped Sweden to a gold medal victory over Canada in a shootout, raising questions as to whether the injury was sustained after William Nylander tackled him in the ensuing celebration.
According to TSN's Ray Ferraro, however, the issue arose late in the semifinal match, leaving Lundqvist "iffy" to play in the final to begin with.
