I look forward to hanging out with the gang, says Henrik Lundqvist in an interview with the news agency AP.
Gretzky has worked with TNT since the company got NHL rights in the USA in 2021, while Lundqvist is entering his fourth season as a regular employee in the expert panel. The studio recording takes place in Atlanta.
It's fun to go to Atlanta to hang out with the guys and just have fun. We talk about the game, analyze what we see and hear, but we also talk about other things that happen, he says.
The 43-year-old will also be an expert during the ice hockey tournament at the Olympic Games in Milan in February and will be seen on both SVT and TV4, which share the rights to the championship.
Lundqvist played 15 years for New York Rangers. He quit in 2021 after being affected by heart problems.
The NHL season starts on Tuesday night, Swedish time.
