"Late in the second period against the Ottawa Senators, Charlie Lindgren, who was already fuming, completely lost his marbles after being run into by Senators center Ridly Greig. Greig was deposited hard to the ice by Martin Fehervary, but this was not enough for The Outlaw, who came out of the crease with his guns figuratively blazing. As a melee broke out behind the net, Lindgren started taking pot shots at Greig with his blocker and David Perron."
"As the circle of violence made its way to the end boards, Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark had seen enough and skated down the entire length of the ice to join the party. Unfortunately for us all, referees separated the two goaltenders, preventing the goalie fight from happening. Lindgren was certainly willing to engage after giving up 4 goals in two periods of work and a possible early shower. Somehow, only 10 penalty minutes were awarded to both teams."
"Lindgren and Ullmark both received two-minute minors for leaving the crease. Fehervary got a double minor for roughing Ridley Greig, while Greig got a single minor for roughing. The Senators ended up getting a two-minute power play which Drake Batherson eventually converted 55 seconds into the third period, making it 5-0. Lindgren's night turned sour 3:27 into the second period when Shane Pinto crashed into the Capitals backup goaltender and was awarded a goal after being pushed into the net by Jakob Chychrun."
Alex Ovechkin played his 1,500th NHL game at Capital One Arena as the Ottawa Senators dominated the Capitals, leading 5-0. Charlie Lindgren became incensed after being run into by Ridly Greig and left his crease, engaging in a melee and throwing blocker punches. Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark skated the length of the ice to confront Lindgren but referees separated them before a goalie fight developed. Officials assessed only 10 penalty minutes total, with minors for Lindgren, Ullmark, Fehervary, and Greig. Ottawa converted a power play when Drake Batherson scored early in the third, and goals from Dylan Cozens and Nick Cousins contributed to the lopsided score.
