APRIL 16 • NHL.COM

Sharp in win over Islanders Lindgren stopped 32 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact 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 win 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.

Starting on Long Island Lindgren will patrol the road blue paint Tuesday against the Islanders, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact 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.

Beaten four times Sunday Lindgren stopped 19 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact 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 seems the Capitals are no longer rotating goaltenders, so Lindgren could remain in a starting role when Washington takes on the Islanders on Tuesday.

Facing Blue Jackets Lindgren will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Sunday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Impact 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.

Holds on in shootout win Lindgren saved 30 of 34 shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Impact 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. With Logan Thompson 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.

Lindgren will make his third straight start and is 1-1-0 since replacing Thompson, allowing seven goals on only 44 shots (.841 save percentage). Overall, Lindgren is 18-13-3 with a 2.71 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 36 appearances in 2024-25. The Hurricanes are generating 3.21 goals per game this season, ninth in the NHL.

Surrenders four goals in loss Lindgren allowed four goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Lindgren took his first loss in four appearances in April, though he's allowed 12 goals on 87 shots in that span. The 31-year-old gave up a pair in the first period, and the Capitals' offense didn't have a comeback in them even with Alex Ovechkin setting the all-time goals record with his 895th career tally at 7:26 of the second period. Lindgren slipped to 18-13-3 with a 2.71 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 36 appearances this season. Logan Thompson (upper body) has been out for the last two games, and Lindgren will continue to see a heavy workload until Thompson is healthy again.

Impact Lindgren is coming off a 19-save effort in Friday's 5-3 win over Chicago. He has posted a record of 18-12-3 with one shutout, a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 35 appearances this season.

Gives up three goals in win Lindgren stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Lindgren has allowed either two or three goals in eight straight outings, going 5-2-0 in that span. The Blackhawks scored all three of their goals in the first two periods before the Capitals took over in the third in a game that saw Alex Ovechkin pull even with Wayne Gretzky atop the all-time goals list. Lindgren was able to improve to 18-12-3 despite a fairly mediocre outing. He's added a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. Lindgren will likely operate as the Capitals' No. 1 goalie until Logan Thompson (upper body) is able to return. The Capitals visit the Islanders on Sunday.
