Lindgren (24-7-1) ranked third in the AHL with a 2.21 goals-against average and second with a .925 save percentage in 34 appearances with Springfield during the 2021-22 regular season. He also won his first two postseason starts, including a 50-save effort vs. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on May 11.
The Lakeville, Minn., native also dressed in five games for the Blues this regular season, going 5-0-0 with a 1.22 GAA and a .958 save percentage.
