Before the 2000 NHL Draft, Lundqvist makes fun of showing up at the incorrect spot.
Henrik Lundqvist has the sixth-most shutouts in NHL history, the sixth-most career victories, a 2.43 career goals-against average, and a.918 career save percentage.

The Swedish-born goalie claimed he had buddies over for a trip to Spain but decided to attend the draught in Calgary instead.
He stated with some embarrassment that only one team requested a meeting with him and that he went to the wrong location.
After the Rangers posted a picture of a very young Lundqvist on the day of the selection, the narrative spread. In 2000, Lundqvist was made fun of for appearing even younger than his actual age of 18 by former teammate and current ESPN hockey analyst Dominic Moore.
@mooredom tweeted: At the age of 12, you were drafted?
However, despite the blunder, everything turned out in the end, according to Lundqvist.
He wrote, "Day and a half later and seven rounds later, I was finally home."
NHL Draft 2022 begins on Thursday, July 7.
