Charlie Lindgren definitely had the New York Rangers number Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, but the Washington Capitals goalie also had plenty of praise for the Blueshirts after he shut them out 1-0.
“I want to give credit to the Rangers and what they did tonight, they’re a good hockey team, definitely, top to bottom. I thought they worked really hard, were well balanced, and they’re going to be a tough out this year,” he stated postgame.
You could sense the respect Lindgren has for the Rangers, who already look the part of a team that’s going to rebound this season after missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs a year ago.
