Charlie Lindgren (born December 18, 1993) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Lindgren began his junior career with the Sioux Falls Stampede of the USHL in 2012–13.[2] Lindgren played his college hockey at St. Cloud State University from 2013–14 to 2015–16. On March 30, 2016 Lindgren decided to forego his senior year at St. Cloud State[3] and was signed as a free agent by the Montreal Canadiens to a two-year, two way contract.[2][4]
At the tail end of the 2015–16 season, Lindgren played in his first NHL game on April 7, 2016. The Canadiens won the game 4–2 against the Carolina Hurricanes.[5][6]
On November 5, 2017, Lindgren won his first career shutout against the Chicago Blackhawks in a 2–0 win, while making 38 saves. He was the starting goalie of this game since Carey Price was out with an injury.[7][8] On February 13, 2018, the Canadiens signed Lindgren to a three-year, $2.25 million contract extension.[9]
Personal life
His brother, Ryan Lindgren is a defenseman in the New York Rangers organization.[10]
