Carey Price has started seven straight games but has given up 11 goals in his last two games, so Lindgren will make his season debut in Carolina. The 26-year-old netminder was 7-6-2 with a 2.67 GAA and .893 SV% in 16 AHL games before being called up. He has previously suited up in 18 NHL games, going 8-8-2 with a 2.89 GAA and .912 SV%.
The Canadiens do not have a back-to-back before the Christmas break, so Cayden Primeau will go to Laval to get some playing time and Lindgren comes up to backup Carey Price. Lindgren has gone 7-6-2 with a 2.67 GAA and .893 SV% in 16 AHL games.
With Antti Niemi struggling mightily as of late, Lindgren comes up as a third goalie and could give Carey Price some rest down the stretch. The 25-year-old has gone 11-14-1 with a 2.94 GAA and 884 SV% in the AHL this season and is 7-8-2 with a 2.78 GAA and .914 SV% in 17 career NHL appearances.
Lindgren has gone 2-1-0 with a 2.39 GAA and .875 SV% in three games with the Rockets so far this season. With Carey Price out with the flu, Lindgren is expected to backup Antti Niemi vs. the Penguins.
Lindgren has gone 4-8-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .908 SV% in 14 games with the Canadiens and returns to Laval where he is 8-14-1 with a 3.18 GAA and .891 SV%. Lindgren’s return to the AHL suggests that Carey Price (concussion) will at least dress as Antti Niemi’s backup on Monday.
Lindgren allowed five goals on 32 shots in the Canadiens loss in Florida last Thursday. Lindgren struggled last week, allowing a combined 11 goals on 65 shots (.831 SV%). Tonight he will face a Blue Jackets team that is riding a four-game winning streak—averaging 4.00 goals for per game in that span.
Lindgren will get the nod again tonight despite allowing six goals on 33 shots in Tuesday’s 6-4 loss to the Devils. In his three starts since being recalled in late February, Lindgren’s recorded a 1-1-1 record and a .911 SV%. He draws another tough matchup tonight against the Panthers.
Lindgren allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Canadiens win over the Islanders on Saturday. Lindgren has been great since being recalled from Laval (AHL), stopping 55 of 58 shots (.948 SV%). Lindgren has gone 2-1-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .950 SV% in three games on the road this season.
Lindgren stopped all 33 shots that he faced in the Canadiens shootout loss to the Flyers on Monday. It was a tough loss for Lindgren, who was excellent in his first NHL start since late-November. He has played very well in nine NHL starts this season, going 3-4-2 with a 2.13 GAA, .933 SV% and two shutouts. He makes for a solid option against an Islanders team that has lost four in a row (0-3-1).
