Among goaltenders with at least four games played since Dec. 1, Lindgren ranks third in save percentage and fourth in goals against average. In 29 career games in the month of December, Lindgren has posted a record of 19-5-3 with a 1.88 goals against average, a .934 save percentage and one shutout. His 19 wins in December are the most he has recorded among all the calendar months.
Besides Lindgren, Alex Ovechkin practiced in a red jersey on Friday but won't be cleared for game action until after the Christmas break, Capitals coach Spencer Carbery confirmed after the morning skate. So we gotta wait just a little bit longer before the GR8 Chase resumes.
Once again puck drop is at 5 p.m. from Capital One Arena and you can catch the game on Monumental Sports Network or listen to the game on 106.7 The Fan or Caps Radio 24/7.
