Charlie Lindgren shines with a windmill save as the Capitals beat the Hurricanes 3-1
Aliaksei Protas and Connor McMichael each scored in the final minute of a period, Charlie Lindgren made 23 saves and the Washington Capitals beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 on Friday night to end their losing streak at two. Lindgren was at his best in the second period, most notably a windmill save on Tyson Jost less than a minute after Pyotr Kochetkov made back-to-back stops on quality scoring chances. Kochetkov was great early when the pressure was on and stopped 19 of the 22 shots he faced.
