The Montreal Canadiens secured the Atlantic Division title on Monday night, as Charlie Lindgren backstopped the Habs to a 4-1 road win over the Florida Panthers in Sunrise, Florida.
This being the year of Carey Price’s comeback, it’s ironic that Habs fans would begin the season watching Al Montoya in net, then watch their team clinch the Atlantic Division title in front of Charlie Lindgren. The victory locked up the second seed in the Eastern Conference for the Habs, finally confirming the long-expected first round playoff matchup with the New York Rangers.
