Charlie Lindgren Leads Capitals Past Hurricanes

In a standout performance despite battling the flu, Washington Capitals' goalie Charlie Lindgren made a remarkable save during the team's 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, which was hailed as potentially the 'Save of the Year.' Coach Spencer Carbery praised Lindgren's incredible acrobatics, which included a full cartwheel to snag a shot from Tyson Jost, helping to shift the momentum in the game. The Capitals secured their first win after two consecutive losses, with goals from Aliaksei Protas and Connor McMichael late in periods, further solidifying their position in the Eastern Conference. Lindgren's 24 saves were crucial, particularly during a second period where Carolina was pushing for the equalizer. This victory comes as the Capitals continue to adapt to the absence of injured captain Alex Ovechkin, who is expected to return soon. The win also marked a halt to the Hurricanes' winning streak, highlighting their struggles on the road.
