The Golden Knights’ goaltending carousel just took another violent spin. Following Carter Hart’s left leg injury against Columbus—a sight that left T-Mobile Arena silent as he was helped down the tunnel—Vegas has officially recalled Carl Lindbom from the Henderson Silver Knights.
With Adin Hill still working his way back from a long-term lower-body ailment and Hart’s status looking grim, Bruce Cassidy finds himself in a familiar "next man up" scenario. We are seeing the "Golden Misfits" DNA tested yet again.
The Lindbom Recall
The 22-year-old Swede had a rocky NHL stint earlier this season, but he’s been a wall in Henderson lately, posting a .926 SV% over 12 games. If he gets the nod, this is his moment to prove he can handle NHL-grade high-danger chances.
"The resolve of this team is being tested. Without 'Wild Bill' Karlsson or a veteran presence in net, the margin for error in the defensive zone has officially vanished."
