Capitals Blank Golden Knights 3-0, Lindgren Shines with 35 Saves

Vegas Golden Knights Suffer Third Loss in Four Games, Following White House Honor

Charlie Lindgren made 35 saves for his first shutout of the season as the Washington Capitals won their third straight game, 3-0, over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights.
Dylan Strome, Connor McMichael and Beck Malenstyn scored goals for Washington, which improved to 7-1-1 over its last nine games.
Vegas Golden Knights, who were honored by President Biden at the White House on Monday for winning their first Stanley Cup last June, lost for the third time in four games.
Vegas forward Paul Cotter picked up a match penalty and game misconduct for hitting Evgeni Kuznetsov in the head with his shoulder with a check by the goal line.
Vegas pulled Thompson for an extra attacker with 2:10 remaining and McMichael sealed the win with an empty-netter with 48.1 seconds left. Malenstyn added another goal 16 seconds later.
