Roberto Luongo Challenges Henrik Lundqvist Following Winter Classic Announcement

The New York Rangers and Florida Panthers are set to play in the 2026 Winter Classic, and Roberto Luongo used that as an opportunity to challenge Henrik Lundqvist.

Luongo is eager to face off against Lundqvist in the alumni outdoor game before the Winter Classic.

"Alumni game? Head to head vs @HLundqvist like the good old days! What says you? Playing an outdoor game was always a dream of mine 🫠," Luongo said on X following the announcement.

Lundqvist played in four outdoor games in his NHL career and won all of them, posting a 4-0-0 record, 1.98 goals against average and a .934 save percentage.

The Rangers legend has more wins in outdoor games than any other goaltender in NHL history while he is also the only NHL goaltender to win two outdoor games in the same season.

If Lundqvist and Luongo take the ice against each other once again, expect it to be a show.
