Exits Friday's game Lindgren (upper body) won't return to Friday's game versus the Canadiens.

Impact Lindgren suffered the injury in a collision, and while he initially stayed in the game, he later exited in the second period. Lindgren stopped all nine shots he faced prior to his exit, but the Capitals couldn't maintain a 1-0 lead after he left the contest, so he won't end up with a decision on his record. If Lindgren ultimately misses time, Logan Thompson would likely serve as a full-time starter in his absence.

Starting against Habs Lindgren will be in goal for Friday's home matchup with Montreal, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Despite Lindgren having lost four straight contests, including an overtime loss in each of his previous two, the Caps continue to roll with their every-other plan for the two netminders. During his current winless streak, the 31-year-old Lindgren is sporting a 3.16 GAA and .880 save percentage. If he can't start putting together wins soon, the team may have to consider handing more starts over to Logan Thompson, who is expected to get the nod on the road against Nashville on Saturday.

Drops fourth straight decision Lindgren made 24 saves in regulation and overtime and turned aside two of four shootout attempts in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

Impact The 31-year-old netminder has hit a bit of a rough patch. Lindgren has given up three or more goals in four straight starts, going 0-2-2 over that stretch with a 3.16 GAA and an .880 save percentage. The Capitals appear willing to let him work through it while remaining in a timeshare with Logan Thompson, but the play of the two goalies are headed in opposite directions -- Thompson has won four straight starts while posting a 2.01 GAA and a .935 save percentage.

Third straight loss Lindgren allowed three goals on 33 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to Minnesota.

Impact Lindgren allowed two goals at even strength and one shorthanded. The shorthanded tally by Minnesota was a result of Lindgren misplaying the puck behind the net -- Yakov Trenin was able to capitalize on Lindgren's mistake to give the Wild a 2-1 lead late in the first period. The 31-year-old is mired in his toughest stretch of the season, as he's 0-2-1 across his last three starts while allowing 10 goals in that span. Through 19 appearances in 2024-25, Lindgren owns a 10-8-1 record, .900 save percentage and 2.70 GAA.

Impact Lindgren has lost three of his last four starts, giving the 31-year-old netminder a 10-8-0 record to go with a 2.69 GAA and an .898 save percentage. While he has been splitting the net with Logan Thompson on a fairly even basis, Thompson's stats are far superior, as he is 15-2-2 in 2024-25. The Wild are averaging 2.95 goals per game this season.

Impact Lindgren paid the price for the Capitals' failure to generate much of any offense as they finished with just 11 shots in the final game before the holiday break. The Capitals continue to stick with a rigid rotation between Lindgren and Logan Thompson which means the former is likely to return to action in a Sunday matinee in Detroit.
