Now according to Russian Machine Never Breaks, Netflix is working on a documentary about Lundqvist�s short time with the Capitals and the open heart surgery that ultimately forced him to hang up his skates earlier than he wanted to; take a look.

"Open Heart," a documentary focused on Henrik Lundqvist's time with the Capitals, will debut on Netflix in May.
