Lindgren stopped 27 of 31 shots in Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Rangers.

It was a disappointing start to the postseason after Lindgren helped the Caps to a surprising last-minute playoff berth by posting a .941 save percentage or better in four of the season's final five games. It might be a tough postseason for Lindgren and the bottom-seeded Caps. They were outshot 31 to 21 on Sunday.
