Lundqvist was joined by Hagelin at the festival. Both played for the Rangers and were going to be teammates with the Capitals.

After a monumental tenure with the New York Ranger, Henrik Lundqvist made his way over to the Washington Capitals, only to see his hockey career end due to a heart condition. His recovery and resilience is now on display in a new documentary that premiered at Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday.

"Open Heart," directed by Jonathan Hock, follows Lundqvist, his family and his team members as he navigates his life following open heart surgery. It puts a spotlight on his Hall of Fame-worthy career, Lundqvist's diagnosis and how he's navigating the heart condition that forced him to hang up the skates.

Lundqvist was in New York for the premiere and was also joined by former teammates, including Capitals forward and countrymate Carl Hagelin, who has been finding power in overcoming his own adversity following a ruptured choroid and hip resurfacing surgery that have kept him off the ice and has challenged his career.

Hagelin and Lundqvist both played together on the Rangers and were going to reunite when Lundqvist signed a one-year deal to join the Capitals in 2020 following his buyout from New York. The netminder had visited the facility and skated before training camp, but his diagnosis stopped him from joining the team.

Lundqvist, 41, now works for NHL on TNT as a studio analyst and worked with MSG Network in 2021-22. The Swede also saw his No. 30 retired at Madison Square Garden.

Through his 15-year career, Lundqvist went 459-310-96 with a .918 save percentage and 2.43 GAA.
