Finishing his NHL career having won over half of his game’s played in the league, Swedish born netminder Henrik Lundqvist sits atop the table as the winningest goaltender in New York Rangers history having registered 459 wins with the Blueshirts. An Olympic gold medalist in 2006 who was also named Sweden's Goaltender of the Year in three (3) straight seasons between 2003 and 2005 while playing with the Frolunda Indians of the Swedish Elite League, "Hank" would also take home the Vezina Trophy in 2012, cementing his status as one of the NHL's best goalies. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2023, offered here is this mask made for Lundqvist that hails from his final Swedish Elite League season of 2004-05, in which he posted a record of 30-8-3 with a 1.79 GAA and a .936 save percentage. Attractively painted in Frolunda's multitude of colours with all padding and strapping intact on both the interior and exterior, the paint job on the exterior, done by noted mask painter, David Gunnarsson of DaveArt on a ProMask 8 shell, features Frolunda's Indian and head dress logo over the crown/top of the head with lightning bolts/shocks seen over both sides as well while Henrik's number "35" is found over the area of the chin. Sporting a silver coloured cats eye cage over the front of the mask, "DaveArt.com" and his shark logo appear over the top of the mask along the back edge as well as hand penned copyright information, a date of "2004-01-16" and the title of the paint job. Also sporting Dave's signature under the top edge of the cage, both ProMask and DaveArt stickers have been affixed to the interior as well. Remaining in overall beautiful condition with just light wear from age/display/handling observed via a couple small marks/scuffs/chips, nothing is bad enough that it detracts from the beauty of the piece.
