#Henrik Lundqvist only goalie not at Rangers workouts

Two of the Rangers’ three goaltenders had participated in the NHL’s Phase 2 voluntary small-group workouts as of Wednesday, the team confirmed to The Post.

Veteran Henrik Lundqvist is the odd goalie out — he is among a handful of players who traveled from Europe to New York in the past week or so who are still waiting to be cleared. Alexandar Georgiev was included in the latest group of players to take part in Phase 2, in which rookie Igor Shesterkin has been participating since he returned from Florida at the end of June.

Additionally, Ryan Strome, Brett Howden and prospect Vitali Kravtsov also began skating at the team’s practice facility this week.

Before the coronavirus pandemic suspended the 2019-20 regular season in March, the Rangers’ three-goalie predicament was continuing to unfold. When Shesterkin was called up from AHL Hartford in January, it was impossible for all three goalies to see equal time in net.

In the last month-and-a-half of the regular season, Lundqvist started in just two games — including Feb. 3 against the Stars when he was replaced by Georgiev after allowing four goals on 15 shots in an eventual 5-3 loss. It was the lightest workload Lundqvist had seen in his 15 years with the Rangers.

Shesterkin went 10-2 with a .932 save percentage in his first stretch of professional starts. He missed six games due to a broken rib he suffered in a car accident on Feb. 23. Georgiev posted a 17-14 record with a .910 save percentage and a 3.04 goals against average in 32 starts.

In late May, Rangers president John Davidson said he anticipated that coach David Quinn would make the final call on which goaltender faces the Carolina Hurricanes in the first-round play-in series.

“This is going to be a battle,” Davidson said. “I can hardly wait till whenever the puck drops for training camp, just to watch.’’

As players around the league continue to make their way back to their respective markets, the NHL and NHL Players Association are nearing an official agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement extension.

The NHLPA executive board approved the tentative CBA Tuesday night and it is now on to the NHLPA membership for a ratification vote. According to a graphic shared by the official NHLPA Twitter account, a final decision should be reached by Friday.
