flag The Capitals signed retired goalie Parker Milner as emergency backup for their game against the Ducks after Charlie Lindgren’s injury.

flag The Washington Capitals signed retired goaltender Parker Milner to a professional tryout to serve as emergency backup for their game against the Anaheim Ducks after Charlie Lindgren was ruled out with an upper-body injury. flag Milner, 35, last played professionally in 2020 and has since worked as a food critic and editor in Charleston, South Carolina. flag Though not eligible for the new full-time emergency backup role under the upcoming CBA, he joined the team on their West Coast trip, participated in pregame warmups, and received a rookie lap—a tradition for NHL debuts—before stepping in as backup to Logan Thompson. flag The move highlights the NHL’s practice of using team-affiliated practice goalies for emergencies and underscores Milner’s unique dual career.
