Capitals wowed after Charlie Lindgren shuts out Vegas Golden Knights: ‘That was one of the more amazing performances I’ve ever seen live’

Charlie Lindgren’s heater continued on Tuesday, stonewalling the reigning Stanley Cup Champions on the way to a 3-0 victory. Though the Golden Knights outplayed the Capitals for much of the matchup, Lindgren’s 35-save night netted both a third straight win for the Caps and his first shutout since joining the team.

Lindgren has allowed only three total goals in November, stopping 93 of his last 96 shots faced and emerging on top in all three of his starts. Still, Tuesday’s showing stood out as one of his best. When asked how important Lindgren was to the victory, head coach Spencer Carbery named him the most important factor of the night.

“He was the win,” Carbery said. “Just fantastic all night. Go down the list of the breakaways, all the different saves in tight, some screening tips and rebound stuff, he had it all. Pass outs off their forecheck, they go right to F3, must have saw 3 or 4 of those. All sorts of different stops. The difference in the game.”
