CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Battling for the starting job isn't something entirely unfamiliar to Penguins goaltending prospect Filip Lindberg.
Lindberg, who was signed to a two-year entry-level contract this summer, played college hockey for UMass in the last three seasons.
Over those three seasons, Lindberg shared the net with Matt Murray -- no, not that Matt Murray, rather the one the Penguins brought to development camp two seasons ago -- with the starts being split pretty evenly in the last two seasons.
UMass coach Greg Carvel told the Daily Hampshire Gazette last season that last summer, Lindberg had approached Carvel and asked for more playing time.
