Charlie Lindgren - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Stumbles in Game 2 Lindgren made 24 saves Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to the Rangers during Game 2 of the Capitals' first-round series.

Impact New York scored twice with the man advantage and once on a K'Andre Miller shorthanded tally, but Lindgren did blank the Rangers in the third period to at least give his club an opportunity for a comeback. The 30-year-old netminder has given up eight goals on 58 shots to begin Washington's postseason run, and while the poor results so far may not be completely Lindgren's fault, coach Spencer Carbury may consider turning to Darcy Kuemper between the pipes when the series shifts back to DC for Game 3 on Friday.

In goal for Game 2 Lindgren will start on the road in Game 2 versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lindgren stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 4-1 loss in Game 1. The 30-year-old is firmly established as the Capitals' No. 1 goalie, but he faces an uphill battle versus the Presidents' Trophy winners. Lindgren has allowed eight goals across four appearances versus the Rangers in 2023-24.

Struggles in Game 1 Lindgren finished with an .871 save percentage in Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Lindgren stopped 27 of 31 Rangers shots. It was a disappointing start to the postseason after Lindgren helped the Caps to a surprising last-minute playoff berth. He had a .941 save percentage or better in four of the season's final five games. It might be a tough postseason for Lindgren and the bottom-seeded Caps. They were outshot 31 to 21 on Sunday.

Wins third straight Lindgren stopped 27 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact Lindgren was sharp again Tuesday, holding the Flyers to a lone Erik Johnson goal in the second period en route to a playoff-clinching victory. The 30-year-old Lindgren now has three wins in four days to close out the regular season, allowing just three goals on 78 shots in that span. He'll wrap up the campaign with a 25-16-7 record, .911 save percentage, and 2.67 GAA across 50 appearances.

Starting again Tuesday Lindgren will be between the pipes on the road against the Flyers on Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Lindgren gets the starting nod on the second game of the Caps' season-ending back-to-back after stopping all 16 shots he faced versus Boston on Monday. Perhaps if the Minnesota native had faced a heavier workload the club would have decided to role with Darcy Kuemper. In his last five outings, the backstop is 3-1-1 with a 1.81 GAA and a .931 save percentage. If Washington makes the playoffs, Lindgren figures to remain the preferred choice between the pipes.

The 30-year-old Lindgren could be back in net for Tuesday's season finale, as the Caps can lock up a playoff spot with a victory.

In goal Monday Lindgren will be between the pipes for Monday's home matchup with Boston, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Lindgren has featured in 21 of the Caps' last 23 contests, posting an 11-8-2 record to go with a 2.92 GAA. If Washington does make the postseason, there will no doubt be some concern that Lindgren was overworked down the stretch, though with a back-to-back on the schedule, Darcy Kuemper will likely get the nod on the road versus the Flyers on Tuesday.

Warming up at right time Lindgren made 32 saves in a 4-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

Impact Lindgren came up big when the Caps needed him, and he has now won two of his last three starts after going without a win in his previous five games (0-3-2). This strong work comes at the right time for the Caps, which are now tied with the Flyers and Red Wings for the second wild card from the Eastern Conference. Overall, Lindgren is 23-16-7 with five shutouts, a 2.77 GAA and .909 save percentage and is arguably the Caps most valuable player.

Impact Lindgren has appeared in 22 of the Caps' last 25 outings while posting a 12-7-3 record and 2.91 GAA. The workload isn't going to get any lighter for the backstop as long as the team remains in the mix for a wild-card spot. On the year, Lindgren has already set new personal bests in games played (46), wins (22) and shutouts (five).

The Capitals still have a strong opportunity for the final wildcard spot so fantasy managers should monitor closely who will be in net. Washington will face the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Falls to Pittsburgh Lindgren surrendered three goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Penguins.

Impact The Penguins jumped out to a fast start against Lindgren, scoring twice in the first period, sticking the 30-year-old netminder with the eventual defeat. Lindgren's been struggling of late -- he's dropped his last four starts, posting an .878 save percentage in that span. He falls to 21-15-6 with a .908 save percentage and 2.81 GAA this season. Darcy Kuemper figures to get the start Friday against Carolina in the second leg of a back-to-back, lining up Lindgren for a home matchup Sunday against the Senators.

Facing Penguins Lindgren will defend the home crease versus Pittsburgh on Thursday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Lindgren was shaky Tuesday as he gave up six goals on 31 shots before being pulled in the third period, in a 6-2 loss to Buffalo. Lindgren is 21-14-6 with a 2.81 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 2023-24. The Penguins are averaging 32.8 shots on goal, sixth in the NHL.

Gets hook Tuesday Lindgren stopped 25 of 31 shots before being replaced by Darcy Kuemper early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact The Capitals were only down 3-2 heading into the third, but three goals in under six minutes to begin the final frame got Lindgren the hook. It's the third time in his last seven outings the 30-year-old netminder has given up at least five goals, a stretch in which he's gone 3-3-1 with a 3.98 GAA and .879 save percentage. Washington is clinging to the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference at the moment -- they're tied with Detroit at 82 points but have a game in hand -- and coach Spencer Carbery seems willing to ride with Lindgren as his No. 1 goalie right to the end, despite his recent form.
