For the first time in his career, Lundqvist will be playing with a new team and wanted to make sure his mask fit this new chapter.
"Henrik wanted a completely new mask look, a totally new style for him," Gunnarsson said.
Gunnarsson and Lundqvist have worked together for almost 20 years to create masks throughout The King's career.
The pair brainstormed the design idea together and quickly came up with what they wanted this mask to look like.
"It is a design which lives and breathes the city of Washington, it is a tribute to the fans of the Capitals. A crisp and clean design, but loaded with detail work and storytelling," said Gunnarsson.
