NEW YORK _ Henrik Lundqvist won't be wearing the Blueshirt anymore, but the former Rangers icon will still be wearing red, white and blue.
Lundqvist, the face of the Rangers for most of the last 15 years before they bought out the final year of his contract 10 days ago, signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract as a free agent with the rival Washington Capitals Friday.
He will be the goalie partner to 23-year-old Ilya Samsonov as the Capitals moved on from Braden Holtby, who signed with the Vancouver Canucks.
