Henrik Lundqvist to debut documentary titled ‘Open Heart’ at Tribeca Film Festival

Henrik Lundqvist spent last season as one of NHL on TNT’s TV analysts, but now with the season over he’s making the jump to film. The future Hall-of-Famer stars in Open Heart, a documentary following Lundqvist after a heart condition forced him to hang up his skates in 2021.

The documentary will premiere on Thursday night as part of the Tribeca Film Festival, with additional showings on Saturday and Sunday. Director of the film, Jonathan Hock has a storied career in sports documentary and was nominated for a 2019 Primetime Emmy Award for his work on ESPN’s 30 for 30 series. Fittingly, the film will debut less than a 20-minute ride away from Madison Square Garden, where Lundqvist’s no. 30 hangs from the rafters.

The New Jersey Devils advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a decisive game-seven win over the New York Rangers on Monday night. It was never in doubt. [Note: I’ve been covering the Devils for the postseason. Looks like I’ll be doing it a bit longer.]
