Charlie Lindgren of the Washington Capitals delivered a strong performance by stopping 17 of 18 shots in a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, although he remains in a shared starting role with Logan Thompson. Meanwhile, Ryan Lindgren, Rangers defenseman, is set to make his season debut against the Montreal Canadiens after recovering from an upper-body injury sustained in preseason. Despite being sidelined, he has been practicing with the team and will join Victor Mancini on the third pairing, resulting in Chad Ruhwedel and Zac Jones being healthy scratches. Lindgren's return is highly anticipated for his hard-nosed style of play, though he is not expected to produce significant offensive numbers. Igor Shesterkin is confirmed as the starting goalie for the Rangers' game against Montreal.
