Many Montreal Canadiens fans haven't wanted to talk about anything between the pipes since all-world goaltender Carey Price went down with a knee injury, but Charlie Lindgren put forth a valiant effort in trying to change that.
Lindgren suited up for the Habs in his first NHL start Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, earning a 4-2 victory and a moment he'll never forget.
Last night was the best night of my life. That was truly a dream coming true. Thanks to everyone who watched and supported me #1stNHLWin

Lindgren made 26 saves in the win.
The undrafted 22-year-old signed a two-way contract with the Canadiens on March 30 following a dazzling season at St. Cloud State, where he posted a 30-9-1 record with a .925 save percentage.
