Assuming that Caps’ netminder Charlie Lindgren doesn’t see any action tonight in Anaheim, he’ll have ended November – a month as well-known for lip sweaters as the goalie himself – with a sparkling 5-1-0/.942/2.01 mark. That’s the highest save percentage in the League for the month (minimum five games) and one of the more impressive months for a Washington backstop in some time.
Here’s where Lindgren ranks for the month among NHL goalies in November (minimum 300 minutes for all-situation stats, 250 minutes for 5v5):
And here’s a cool stat for you: at five-on-five, Lindgren faced 47 medium-danger and 66 low-danger shots and stopped every last one of them; all eight goals he allowed at fives in November were classified as high-danger, and the average shot distance of the goals he allowed was 7.
