Lindback was roughed up for four goals on 31 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Islanders on Monday. The fifth was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Lindback failed to impress in his sixth appearance of the season, getting torched for three goals in the third period. Although veteran starter Mike Smith has been pretty bad with a 3.10 GAA and .901 save percentage through 15 appearances, Lindback still figures to be a distant second fiddle between the pipes in the desert unless he's able to get hot and string together consecutive strong outings.
