Watch the rescue in the player above.
It was in the middle of the second period that Charlie Lindgren was responsible for an acrobatic effort between the posts. In total, he stopped 24 shots in the Washington Capitals’ 3–1 victory.
– How about one of the best fucking saves I’ve possibly seen? exclaims coach Spencer Carbery in a clip on the Capitals’ X account.
After the game, Washington confirmed that Lindgren played the game with the flu.
The win is the team’s first after two straight losses.
