Grounds Flyers Lindgren stopped 17 of 18 shots faced during Tuesday's 4-1 road win over the Flyers.
Impact Lindgren has allowed three goals over his last two starts after being saddled with a loss in Washington's home opener on Oct. 12. The 30-year-old is worth starting whenever he gets the call behind the streaking Capitals, but backup Logan Thompson is expected to get a fair amount of work in the early going so Lindgren has yet to secure the kind of workload that would make him a top-tier fantasy netminder.

Sharp in home win Lindgren stopped 22 of 24 shots faced during Thursday's 3-2 home win over the Stars.
Impact Lindgren made some terrific saves in the third period to keep the Capitals ahead and secure his first win of the 2024-25 season. The 30-year-old will need to play well to keep Logan Thompson from garnering a larger share of the workload, but Lindgren has the potential for a solid campaign behind a revamped Washington defense.

First off ice Thursday Lindgren was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com, indicating he will defend the home crease versus Dallas on Thursday.
Impact Lindgren was saddled with the loss Opening Night, allowing four goals on 32 shots to the Devils. Lindgren had a strong 2023-24 campaign, going 25-16-7 with six shutouts, a 2.67 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 50 regular-season appearances. Lindgren will have a tough task as he faces the Stars, who enter Thursday's tilt with a 4-0-0 record, finding the back of the net 12 times.

Surrenders four in loss Lindgren turned aside 28 of 32 shots faced during Saturday's 5-3 home loss to the Devils.
Impact Lindgren was victimized in particular by the Devils' third line of Stefan Noesen, Erik Haula, and Paul Cotter -- who were responsible for three of the five goals the Capitals surrendered. The 30-year-old enters the 2024-25 atop the depth chart after Washington sent Darcy Kuemper to the Los Angeles Kings for Pierre-Luc Dubois in the offseason, but he will need to find his footing in order to fend off Logan Thompson for starts after the latter had a solid showing during the preseason.

Tending twine Saturday Lindgren will patrol the home crease versus the Devils on Saturday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Impact Lindgren will get the Opening Night start Saturday with Logan Thompson backing him up. Lindgren was the No. 1 goaltender in Washington last season, going 25-16-7 with six shutouts, a 2.67 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 50 regular-season appearances. He will face the Devils, who have already played three games (2-1-0), finding the back of the net nine times thus far.

Shutout to close preseason Lindgren made 17 saves in a 2-0 win over Boston on Saturday.
Impact Lindgren wasn't busy Saturday, but he came up huge early in the final period with a point-blank save on Brett Harrison to keep the game 1-0. His teammates added the insurance goal at 14:22 of the same frame. Lindgren was outstanding in the second half of last season and will be out to prove he can sustain that kind of performance. Logan Thompson's arrival in a summer trade suggests the two men will share duties. Watch for a hot-hand approach, rather than an alternating split. That means you'll need extra leather in your blue paint to ensure you always have plenty of starts.

Between pipes Friday Lindgren will guard the home crease versus Boston on Friday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Lindgren is scheduled to play the entire game. He is expected to share the No. 1 goaltending spot with Logan Thompson, who was acquired from Vegas in the offseason. Lindgren was 25-16-7 with a 2.67 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 50 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Between the pipes Friday Lindgren will patrol the crease at home versus the Blue Jackets on Friday, per a team press release.
Impact After notching a 2.67 GAA and .911 save percentage behind a 25-16-7 record in 50 games last season, Lindgren enters the 2024-25 campaign as the top goaltender on Washington's depth chart following an offseason trade that sent Darcy Kuemper to the Los Angeles Kings. The 30-year-old netminder will need to fend off Logan Thompson to keep his claim on the starter's workload, but with a revamped defensive corps in front of him, Lindgren has a good chance to improve on last season's numbers and remain a solid fantasy asset.

Falls short in Game 4 Lindgren allowed three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 4. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Impact Lindgren went 0-4 in the playoffs, ending the Capitals' postseason run in the first round. He allowed 14 goals on 103 shots during those four contests, putting a sour taste on an otherwise solid campaign that saw him post a 25-16-7 record, a 2.67 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 50 regular-season appearances. Lindgren is under contract for one more season, so he should have at least a timeshare role on lock for 2024-25.

Gets little help in Game 3 loss Lindgren stopped 19 shots Friday during a 3-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 3 of the Capitals' first-round series.
Impact John Carlson opened the scoring with a somewhat fluky goal early in the first period, but Lindgren gave up the lead less than a minute later when Chris Kreider tipped home a long-range shot and the Rangers never looked back. The 30-year-old netminder has given up 11 goals on 81 shots through three playoff games, and while that shaky save percentage isn't entirely his fault, Lindgren's still begun the playoffs with three straight losses, leaving Washington on the brink of being swept.
