If anyone is looking for yet another indicator of how this season has gone for the Montreal Canadiens, then look no further than Charlie Lindgren. When he skates out onto the ice for his professional hockey debut on Thursday night against Carolina, he will become the fifth goalie used in a game this season by the Habs. This ties the franchise record for most goalies used in a single season.
If there was any position that exuded stability at the start of the season, it was that of the starting goaltender. Carey Price was coming off of a highly-decorated season that saw him him win nearly every award a goaltender can possibly win.
