Caps G Charlie Lindgren exits with upper-body injury

capitals, Charlie Lindgren

Washington goalie Charlie Lindgren took a hit to the head and left the Capitals’ home game against the Montreal Canadiens on Friday.

In the first minute of the second period, Lindgren was struck in the side of the head by Montreal’s Nick Suzuki, who was checked into the goalie by Brandon Duhaime.

Lindgren lay on the ice for a few seconds and play was halted. He got back up and appeared to try to stretch his neck. The game resumed, but Lindgren was pulled approximately two minutes later, with Logan Thompson taking over in the crease.

The Capitals later confirmed that Lindgren would not return to the game due to an upper-body injury.

Before exiting, Lindgren stopped all nine shots he faced and the Capitals led 1-0. Montreal came back to defeat Washington 3-2 in overtime.

With Washington set to play again Saturday on the road against the Nashville Predators, it’s possible the Capitals would make a roster move to add a goalie if Lindgren isn’t fully fit.
