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]
