Lundqvist also announced that most likely one of the two masks will be auctioned after the tournament.

Lundqvist paid tribute to his home country and his NHL club in both designs. The Are, Sweden, native is at his second World Cup, having served as third string goalies at the 2004 event (when the first two goalies were Tommy Salo and Mikael Tellqvist).

Lundqvist is also a veteran of three Olympic Games, where he amassed a gold and a silver medal. The goalie spent his whole NHL career with the New York Rangers. In 2015-16, he posted a 32-21-5 record with a .920 save percentage and 2.48 goals-against average; he also added four shutouts.
