Chad Johnson was supposed to start tonight, but he reportedly suffered a lower-body injury in the morning skate and won't be able to play. That leaves Lindback to inherit the crease in Ottawa. He allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Sabres line in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Lindback has not played since February 7th, when he was still with Dallas. With Michal Neuvirth now on Long Island, Lindback will get the first shot at winning the Sabres starting job tonight vs. Tampa Bay. He was 2-8-0 with a 3.71 GAA and .875 SV% with the Stars and is an extremely risky start tonight vs. the high-powered Lightning.
Lindback, 26, is a pending unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. He has gone 2-8-0 with a 3.71 GAA and .875 SV% with the Stars this season. He was already a scary option in Dallas, but now he is a terrifying option in Buffalo. He will likely serve as Michal Neuvirth’s backup, while Matt Hackett should stay in the NHL until next season.
Lindback returned to the Stars after a two-game conditioning stint yesterday. He went 1-1-0 with a 1.89 GAA and .946 SV% with Texas and will make his first NHL start since January 15th. He has struggled, going 2-7-0 with a 3.79 GAA and .875 SV%, but has a strong enough matchup coming off of a nice conditioning stint to consider spot-starting him.

Lindback started two games with Texas during his conditioning stint—he went 1-0-1 with a 1.89 GAA and .946 SV%. He will try and carry that success back to Dallas where he is 2-7-0 with a 3.79 GAA and .875 SV% this season. He could get the start in the front-end of the back-to-back tomorrow in Buffalo.
Lindback has not played since January 15th, so he will head to Texas to get in a few games before returning to Dallas. He could get a start during Stars back-to-back on Saturday-Sunday.
Lindback stopped 34 of 36 shots that he faced after replacing Kari Lehtonen in the Stars come-from-behind win over the Senators on Tuesday. It was Lindback’s best performance of the season, which looks like it earned him the start tonight vs. the visiting Winnipeg Jets. Lindback has gone 1-3-0 with a 3.84 GAA and .871 SV% at home this year.

Lindback allowed one goal on 10 shots after replacing Kari Lehtonen in the Stars shootout win over the Oilers on December 21st. He comes into play tonight with a 1-5-0 record, 4.28 GAA and .864 SV%. Yep, those are real numbers, so be extremely careful with Lindback.

Lindback performed very well in five starts with Texas. He went 3-2-0 with a 1.59 GAA and .946 SV%, so the Stars are hoping he can translate that into NHL success. The Stars 3.52 goals against per game is the worst in the NHL, so an improved and more confident Lindback could go a long way in improving team defence.
The Stars placed Lindback on waivers on Wednesday and recalled Jussi Rynnas to take his place as the Stars number-2 net minder. Lindback, who signed with the Stars this offseason, was dreadful, going 0-5-0 with a 4.64 GAA and .861 SV% in four starts and one relief appearance.
Lindback allowed two goals on nine shots after replacing Kari Lehtonen on November 18th. He has really struggled this season and could be making his last start of the season tonight if he struggles.

Lindback gave up six goals on 28 shots in a 7-5 loss to the Islanders on October 25th. He has allowed nine goals on 60 shots (.850 SV%) in his only two starts of the season. He could be in danger of losing his backup job if he has another bad outing; which is likely with the seventh best offence in town—San Jose is averaging 2.93 goals per game.

Lindback allowed three goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Predators in his season debut on October 11th. Kari Lehtonen started the last five games so they will turn to Lindback tonight vs. the Islanders. New York is scoring a ton to start the season, so there are better spot-start options out there.
