Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Keeps up winning ways
Lindgren stopped 23 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.
The Capitals' explosive attack in the first period was more than enough for Lindgren to work with. He's picked up four wins over his last five appearances, giving up just 10 goals in that span. The 31-year-old netminder struggled early in the year, but he's turned things around as part of a bigger upswing by the Capitals as a whole. Lindgren is now 5-3-1 with a 2.90 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 10 appearances. Logan Thompson is likely to start in Anaheim on Friday, and with no back-to-back situations on the horizon, it's not immediately clear when Lindgren will get the nod again.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Guarding goal Wednesday
Lindgren will protect the road net versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Lindgren has won his last three decisions, allowing nine goals on 90 shots over four appearances in that span. He'll play the second half of a back-to-back after Logan Thompson guided the Capitals to a 3-1 win over the Kings on Tuesday. The Sharks present a bit of a challenge, as they've scored 15 goals while going 3-2-0 over their last five games.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Hangs on for third straight win
Lindgren turned aside 18 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
Washington grabbed a 2-0 lead midway through the first period, and while Winnipeg rallied to tie it early in the second, Lindgren made sure that the Caps' next lead didn't slip away. The veteran netminder has won three straight decisions, going 3-1-1 over six November outings with a 2.81 GAA and .889 save percentage as he tries to work his way into a timeshare with Logan Thompson.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: First goalie off Wednesday
Lindgren was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes versus the Jets.
Lindgren's 2025-26 campaign has been middling at best, as he has posted a 3-3-1 record, 3.14 GAA and one shutout in eight appearances. Given his decreased workload to open the year, the 31-year-old backstop could miss the 20-win threshold for the first time since 2022-23. Perhaps a strong outing or two by Lindgren will force the Caps to go back to a split share in the crease.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Sees action in relief Saturday
Lindgren stopped nine of 10 shots in relief during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Lindgren entered the game late in the first period after Logan Thompson allowed four goals on six shots, including one on the power play and one shorthanded. The 31-year-old Lindgren stepped up and did a good job, but he should remain the Capitals' No. 2 option between the pipes for now. However, if Thompson continues to struggle, Lindgren could receive some additional playing time.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Cruises to third win
Lindgren stopped 24 shots in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Canadiens.
After a 1-1 first period, the Caps began to pull away with two goals in the first four minutes of the second period, and Lindgren made sure the Habs never got level again. The veteran netminder has won back-to-back starts for the first time this season, and through seven outings he's gone 3-3-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .888 save percentage while backing up Logan Thompson.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Slated to start Thursday
Lindgren is expected to get the starting nod for Thursday's road clash with Montreal, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Lindgren is poised to take the second game of the Caps' back-to-back after Logan Thompson guards the home cage against Edmonton on Wednesday. In his six appearances this year, the 31-year-old Lindgren is 2-3-1 with a 3.17 GAA, one shutout and an .893 save percentage. So far, Lindgren has primarily featured in back-to-backs but could see more starts later in the year to keep Thompson fresher for a potential postseason run.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Shines in win
Lindgren stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.
Lindgren held on down the stretch to grab his first win since Oct. 12, his first start of the season. With his trip back to the win column, the 31-year-old netminder has a 2-3-1 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .893 save percentage across six games this season. He remains firmly behind starting goalie Logan Thompson on Washington's depth chart, but more performances like Monday's could bring the share of games closer to an even split. For now, Lindgren is best deployed as a spot start in fantasy. If Thompson gets the nod in the Capitals' home game versus Edmonton on Wednesday, then there is a chance the team will turn to Lindgren one night later for Thursday's road matchup against the Canadiens.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Set to face Kings
Lindgren will patrol the home crease against the Kings on Monday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Lindgren has lost his last four outings (0-3-1) while surrendering 18 goals on 112 shots. It's been a rocky road for the 31-year-old netminder after he posted a 35-save shutout win against the Rangers on Oct. 12 in his season debut. The Kings rank 22nd in the league with 2.84 goals per game this campaign.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Falls to Penguins
Lindgren allowed four goals on 30 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Penguins on Thursday.
Lindgren has now lost four straight games, posting a 0-3-1 record and 4.49 GAA during his slump. The Minnesota native was already expected to see less of the net this season than he did in 2024-25 (39 games), but this slump will only serve to further cement Logan Thompson as the No. 1 option in Washington.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Slated to start Thursday
Lindgren is expected to be between the visiting pipes in Pittsburgh on Thursday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Logan Thompson picked up the start Wednesday against the Blues, putting Lindgren in line for Thursday's start. Lindgren is 1-2-1 with one shutout, a 3.47 GAA and an .880 save percentage this season. The Penguins are eighth in NHL scoring, averaging 3.50 goals per game.

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.
