Capitals goalie Charlie Lindgren, who took a hit to the head Friday night against the Canadiens, was put on IR on Saturday.

Goaltender exits 3-2 loss to Canadiens with an upper-body injury; status for Saturday night’s game in doubt. The Washington Capitals have been missing their best game for weeks, and an overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Friday at Capital One Arena added an injury worry to the growing frustration.

Lindgren suffered an upper-body injury in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens after a collision with Nick Suzuki, who was pushed into the crease by Brandon Duhaime. Suzuki appeared to bump into Lindgren's head, sending the 31-year-old netminder down hard to the ice.
