Lundqvist Received Cortisone Shot In Knees This Summer

There's been an internet rumor going around this summer stating that Henrik Lundqvist was getting weekly cortisone shots in his knees.

Steve Zipay at Newsdays, who refutes the reports, says...

"Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist received cortisone shots in his knees once in the offseason after playing for Team Sweden, but is not receiving any now and is fine, contrary to a Swedish newspaper report, the team said."

Zipay also added this on whether Lundqvist was getting weekly shots in Blue Notes...

"Untrue and medically impossible. Cortisone is administered no more than once every three months. It was a one-time thing in the worlds after the post-season. Once. He's fine."

...i don't care if it was only once. I'm still a little worried.
