Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Second start of month
Lindgren will get the start Sunday against the Predators, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
It will be just the second start of the month for Lindgren, the number two goaltender in Washington behind Logan Thompson. Lindgren has a 7-4-2 record, 3.13 GAA and an .890 save percentage entering play Sunday and has won back-to-back starts. To try and make it three in a row, he'll face a Predators team that has been held to two goals or fewer in three straight games.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Starting Sunday at Detroit
Lindgren will start Sunday's game against the Red Wings, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.
Lindgren will play the second leg of a back-to-back against Detroit after Logan Thompson allowed four goals in Saturday's 5-2 home loss to the Red Wings.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Picks up loss in Detroit
Lindgren conceded three goals on 27 shots Sunday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
The Capitals forced overtime after trailing during the third period Sunday, but Moritz Seider ultimately blasted home a pass from Andrew Copp past Lindgren with just 24 seconds remaining in the extra frame. Lindgren has lost his last two starts, a small stretch in which he's given up eight goals on 59 shots. Overall, the 32-year-old has a 5-4-2 record, .888 save percentage and 3.07 GAA across 12 appearances as the backup to Logan Thompson this year. Thompson will more than likely be back between the pipes Tuesday against the Rangers.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Yields five goals in loss
Lindgren allowed five goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Wild.
Lindgren made his first start in his second game since being activated from injured reserve following an upper-body issue. The 31-year-old netminder didn't get any help in his return to the crease, sending him to his first loss since Nov. 6 in Pittsburgh. He's now 5-4-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 11 outings. Logan Thompson will likely be back between the pipes for Thursday's home game versus the Maple Leafs, but Lindgren should start once during the weekend's home-and-home set against the Red Wings.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Drawing start in Minnesota
Lindgren will tend the twine Tuesday in Minnesota, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Lindgren is set to make just his second start in December -- he missed three games due to an upper-body injury but returned to the lineup to back up Logan Thompson on Saturday in Winnipeg. The 31-year-old Lindgren owns a 5-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.90 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 10 appearances in 2025-26. The Wild have won four consecutive games and now have Quinn Hughes in the fold, so this will be a formidable task for Lindgren.

Lindgren has missed the last three games and could back up Logan Thompson on Saturday in Winnipeg. Lindgren is 5-3-1 with a 2.90 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Should he be activated, look for Garin Bjorklund to be sent to AHL Hershey.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Set to miss more time
Lindgren (upper body) isn't expected to be an option for Sunday's home matchup against Columbus, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Lindgren also sat out Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to Anaheim, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup.

Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Sitting out Friday
Lindgren (upper body) will not dress for Friday's game versus the Ducks.
Lindgren's absence comes after he stopped 23 of 24 shots Wednesday versus the Sharks. The Capitals were unable to make a regular roster move to accommodate his absence, which suggests this is a fairly new development. They signed Parker Milner to a professional tryout agreement to be the backup to Logan Thompson on Friday.

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.
