''The guys played a fabulous game in front of me,'' said the 22-year-old Lindgren, who signed with the Canadiens as a free agent on March 30. ''I just tried to be as calm as possible.

Riley Nash and Noah Hanifin scored for Carolina, and Cam Ward stopped 27 shots.
''I thought we made it hard on

No penalties were called against Carolina, with just one against Montreal.
Montreal won the season series 2-1, with
