Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Falls short in shootout
Lindgren made 21 saves on 24 attempts on net in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.
After allowing three goals in the first, Lindgren survived the extra period before surrendering the lone tally of the shootout to Buffalo defenseman Bowen Byram. With the loss, Lindgren now has a 1-2-1 record, 3.47 GAA and an .880 save percentage through four appearances. With each loss that passes for the 31-year-old goalie, Washington's starting netminder Logan Thompson seems to grab a larger hold on the top spot of the depth chart. While Lindgren appeared in 39 regular-season games a year ago, he is on pace to take the ice in just 20 games this year if the current goalie rotation keeps up. Lindgren still has some fantasy value as a spot start, but there are likely better external options receiving more opportunities in net than him.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Expected to face Buffalo
Lindgren is set to guard the road crease against Buffalo on Saturday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Lindgren earned a 35-save shutout in his season debut against the Rangers on Oct. 12, but he's allowed 11 goals on 58 shots (.810 save percentage) in his two outings since that perfect game. He's also traditionally had mixed results against the Sabres, posting a 2-2-1 record, 3.50 GAA and .877 save percentage across six career regular-season appearances. Buffalo is 4-4-3 and ranks 19th in goals per game with 3.00 this year.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Concedes seven goals Saturday
Lindgren stopped 27 of 34 shots in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Senators.
Lindgren surrendered four goals at even strength and three on Ottawa power plays, as the Capitals couldn't find a way to slow down the Senators. The seven goals allowed were a season high for Lindgren, who hasn't been playing as much this campaign as he did a year ago behind Logan Thompson.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Slated to start Saturday
Lindgren will draw the home start against Ottawa on Saturday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
After opening the season with a 35-save shutout victory over the Rangers on Oct. 12, Lindgren allowed four goals on 24 shots in his next outing against Vancouver on Sunday. He'll look to rebound here against an Ottawa team that's dropped five of its last seven and remains without Brady Tkachuk (thumb). Given the matchup, Lindgren profiles as a solid spot-start option in this matchup.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Inefficient in defeat
Lindgren stopped 20 of the 24 shots he faced during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
Lindgren's second start of the season certainly didn't match the success of his first, in which he recorded a shutout. He is firmly entrenched as the backup behind Logan Thompson currently, but Lindgren should be in line to start at least one part of Washington's back-to-back Friday and Saturday this week.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Facing Canucks
Lindgren will patrol the home crease against Vancouver on Sunday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Lindgren is coming off a 1-0 shutout win over the Rangers last Sunday, making 35 saves in his first start of the year. He has stopped 44 of the 47 shots he has faced en route to a 1-1-0 record in two previous regular-season appearances versus the Canucks. Vancouver has registered 15 goals across five games this campaign.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Making season debut
Lindgren will get the start for Sunday's battle with the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
It will be the 2025-26 season debut for Lindgren on Sunday night, the second of a back-to-back for the Capitals. The 31-year-old saw action in 39 games last season, posting a record of 20-14-4, a 2.73 GAA and an .894 save percentage. He faces a Rangers team, also on the second of a back-to-back, that has filled the net 10 times through three games this year.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Stellar in shutout win
Lindgren posted a 35-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.
Lindgren had little margin for error, and he performed as such in an excellent season debut. He was able to make a second-period goal by Anthony Beauvillier stand as the game-winner. The Capitals are not expected to be as predictable as last year between the pipes, when Logan Thompson and Lindgren almost always alternated starts. It's Lindgren who's slated to fade into the backup role, though he may force the team to adjust its plans if he continues to play as he did Sunday. The Capitals' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Lightning.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Starting against Boston
Lindgren will defend the home crease during Thursday's preseason game against the Bruins, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Lindgren will make his second start of the preseason during Thursday's matchup. He also started in Sunday's exhibition matchup against New Jersey and turned aside 20 of 22 shots in the shootout victory. Once the regular season gets underway, Lindgren will likely enter a timeshare with Logan Thompson for goaltending duties.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Available Thursday
Lindgren (personal) will serve as the backup goaltender at home for Game 5 against Carolina on Thursday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Lindgren has made one appearance in the 2025 playoffs, stopping four of five shots en route to a 6-3 loss to Montreal on April 25. Logan Thompson is expected to serve as the starting netminder versus the Hurricanes.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Questionable Thursday
Lindgren is dealing with a personal matter which could sideline him for Game 5 against the Hurricanes on Thursday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
With Lindgren in doubt, the Caps promoted Clay Stevenson from AHL Hershey to potentially serve as the backup to Logan Thompson in Game 5. The 31-year-old Lindgren was on the ice for the morning skate and could still dress in Thursday's game. Regardless of who backs up, Thompson will get the starting nod, making fantasy value for the others minimal.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Returns to practice Friday
Lindgren (personal) returned to practice Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Lindgren had a family matter to deal with and did not dress Thursday in Game 2 as Mitchell Gibson backed up starter Logan Thompson. Lindgren is slated to back up Thompson in Game 3 on Saturday. Lindgren was 20-14-3 with one shutout, a 2.73 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 39 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Unavailable Thursday
Lindgren (personal) will miss Game 2 at home against Carolina on Thursday.
Lindgren has made one relief appearance in the 2025 playoffs, stopping four of five shots in a 6-3 loss to Montreal on April 25. The Capitals will stick with Logan Thompson in goal Thursday, while Mitchell Gibson will fill in as the understudy.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Makes relief appearance
Lindgren stopped four of five shots in relief of Logan Thompson (lower body) in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3.
Thompson's injury didn't look good, and it could be Lindgren's crease for a while in the postseason. Lindgren went 20-14-3 with a 2.73 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 39 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. The 31-year-old has limited experience as a starter but may find some motivation by playing against his former team if he has to play regularly in Thompon's absence.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Sharp in win over Islanders
Lindgren stopped 32 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Lindgren has alternated wins and losses over his last five games, but this was his first really good performance in that span. The netminder only gave up a fluky goal midway through the third period that went in off a teammate. This victory got him to the 20-win mark for the second year in a row -- Lindgren is 20-14-3 with a 2.73 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 39 appearances. The Capitals close the regular season with a favorable matchup Thursday versus the Penguins.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Starting on Long Island
Lindgren will patrol the road blue paint Tuesday against the Islanders, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Lindgren is 1-2-0 with a 3.89 GAA and an .848 save percentage across his last three outings. It's unclear if Logan Thompson (upper body) will be available for the start of the postseason, so Lindgren will look to clean up his game Tuesday against a New York squad that has generated 2.75 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks 25th in the NHL. Lindgren is 1-2-0 across three career appearances against the Islanders.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Beaten four times Sunday
Lindgren stopped 19 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Lindgren returned to the starting role after not playing in the 7-0 loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday, but he couldn't avoid another loss. The 31-year-old has struggled in terms of consistency of late, though, going 3-2-0 with a 3.48 GAA and an .861 save percentage over his last six appearances. It's unclear if Lindgren will start both remaining regular-season games given that the Capitals are locked into the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Facing Blue Jackets
Lindgren will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Sunday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
Lindgren will get the second half of Washington's back-to-back after Hunter Shepard played in Saturday's 7-0 loss to the Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old Lindgren has a 19-13-3 record with one shutout, a 2.74 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. Columbus sits 10th in the league with 3.22 goals per game in 2024-25.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Holds on in shootout win
Lindgren saved 30 of 34 shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.
Despite allowing the first and last two goals in regulation, Lindgren was able to hang on in the extra period and shootout for the win. With Thursday's victory, the 31-year-old netminder is up to a 19-13-3 record with a 2.74 GAA and an .893 save percentage. While his overall performance has been a step down from a season ago, Lindgren is getting hot at the right time for the Capitals by winning three of his last four starts. Since Logan Thompson is temporarily sidelined with an upper-body injury, Lindgren may pick up a few more starts before the end of the regular season, boosting his value in fantasy leagues. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Saturday at Columbus.
