"After the Capitals fell behind 1-0 in the first 20 minutes, Lindgren surrendered three more goals in the following stanza, beginning with a bad-luck Shane Pinto tally, where he got crashed into while trying to defend the crease. The Capitals challenged for goaltender interference, but because Jakob Chychrun bumped into Pinto first, the goal stood. The Senators scored on the resulting power play that came about due to the failed challenge and added another tally shortly thereafter."
"Nearing the period's end, the competitive Lindgren was seeing red, and when he got bumped in the crease by Senators forward Ridley Greig, he lost it. "I think [Greig] was going out (of the crease) with Marty," Lindgren said. "I didn't want to see Marty getting taken advantage of. And so, I tried to step in and do my part, and that's it." The Outlaw fired several punches at Greig as both players combined into an angry mass of humanity behind the Capitals' net."
The Washington Capitals fell behind 1-0 after the first period and surrendered three more goals in the second, including a bad-luck Shane Pinto tally that involved contact in the crease. A goaltender-interference challenge failed because Jakob Chychrun bumped Pinto first, and the Senators converted the ensuing power play and added another goal soon after. Late in the period, Charlie Lindgren was bumped in the crease by Ridley Greig and retaliated, throwing punches to protect a teammate. Officials intervened to stop further escalation. Senators goalie Linus Ullmark skated out, discarded his glove, blocker, and stick, and voiced support for Lindgren.
