Looks like Henrik Lundqvist hasn’t missed a beat.

On Monday, the legendary New York Rangers goalie stood between the pipes for the first time since his retirement back in 2021 and looked sharp as ever.

Lundqvist is warming up for the Hockey Hall of Fame Legends Classic, which will take place Nov. 12 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

The 41-year-old former goalie took a few high-speed breakaway reps during his practice and made every save with ease.

The former Vezina Trophy winner was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame over the summer.

While he now spends a lot of his time as a studio analyst on TNT, it doesn’t seem like he’ll have any issues switching out the suit and tie for the goalie pads again.
