Lundqvist starts for Sweden, but was there ever any doubt?

Lundqvist is Sweden's unquestioned number-1 and will be leaned on heavily to lead his country to gold. He is expected to start nearly every game, but could rest in one preliminary game and give either Jonas Gustavsson or Jhonas Enroth an Olympic start. He was 22-18-3 with a 2.44 GAA and .918 SV% with the Rangers before the Olympics, but comes in red-hot having won five in a row with 1.77 GAA and .940 SV%. If Sweden is going to win a medal in this tournament, it is going to be because of 'King Henrik'.
