Henrik Lundqvist had no guarantee he would play for the Rangers when the N.H.L. postseason started this month after a four-month layoff because of the coronavirus pandemic. But at 38, he is still a goaltender with goals, and foremost among them was savoring any chance to play. He will be owed $5.5 million, but his salary will count as $8.5 million against the salary cap because it is an average over the length of the contract. The topic is apparently of some urgency to the Rangers.
