Charlie Lindgren Leaves Game With Injury

Washington Capitals goalie Charlie Lindgren left the game against the Montreal Canadiens after sustaining an upper-body injury early in the second period. The injury occurred when Nick Suzuki was checked into Lindgren by Brandon Duhaime, causing Lindgren to fall to the ice. Despite initially getting back up and making nine saves, he was eventually replaced by backup Logan Thompson and ruled out for the remainder of the game. The Capitals, leading 1-0 at the time, ultimately lost 3-2 in overtime. Lindgren has been a key player this season, boasting a 10-8-2 record and a .900 save percentage. With an upcoming game against the Nashville Predators, the Capitals may need to make roster adjustments if Lindgren's condition does not improve soon.
