UPDATED: Henrik Lundqvist Will Play in the World Cup

UPDATE:


A big thank you goes out to reader Jesper H. for clearing up the confusion regarding Henrik declining a World Cup invitation. The article I linked to below was talking about the World Championship which took place earlier this month. Henrik declined an invitation to play in that, not the upcoming World Cup in September. I apologize for confusing the two of them but I was relying on Google translate and sometimes it does a poor job. 






The Swedish media is reporting that Henrik has declined an invitation to play in the World Cup:



Gustav Nyquist said yes to the World Cup - New York Rangers star goalie Henrik Lundqvist and the Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson, however, say no.

Henrik will not come to the World Cup, we have three goalkeepers we have, says coach Pär Mårts.
