Kraken's Ryan Lindgren: Slings helper Tuesday

Lindgren posted an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Lindgren has opened the season in a top-four role to begin his time with the Kraken. He has a helper, one shot on net, two hits and nine blocked shots through three outings. The 27-year-old shutdown defender will probably be a regular in the lineup throughout the year, but his role is likely to shrink once Ryker Evans (upper body) is ready to return from injured reserve.
