Third win in last four starts Lindgren made 27 saves, including 14 in the third period, in a 3-2 victory over the Flyers on Thursday.

Impact The Caps were up 3-0 heading into the third, and while the Flyers managed two goals, the game was never in doubt. Lindgren has won three of his last four starts, and he's allowed just nine goals in that span. Logan Thompson continues to get a few more starts than Lindgren, but the 31-year-old Minnesotan continues to produce solid fantasy numbers. He's 16-11-3 with a 2.63 GAA and .901 save percentage in 31 starts.

Gets starting nod versus Flyers Lindgren will be between the home pipe against Philadelphia on Thursday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lindgren has allowed three or more goals in five of his last seven appearances, going 4-2-1 with a .874 save percentage. With the 31-year-old backstop struggling, the team has started to lean more heavily on Logan Thompson, though Lindgren should still see plenty of starts down the stretch.

Gets no help in loss Lindgren allowed three goals on 27 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Kings.

Impact Lindgren gave up two goals in a span of 47 seconds early in the third period, and that proved too much for the Capitals to overcome. Prior to Thursday, the 31-year-old netminder had won four of his last five outings. He's now 15-11-3 with a 2.65 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 30 starts this season. If the Capitals continue on their goalie rotation, Logan Thompson would start the road-trip finale in San Jose on Saturday.

Exits ice first Lindgren was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating he'll patrol the blue paint on the road against the Kings.

Impact Lindgren is back to splitting the workload with Logan Thompson, having logged two of the Caps' last four outings in which he posted a 2-0-0 record and 1.93 GAA. Given the current rotation, fantasy players should probably expect Thompson to get the road start versus the Sharks on Saturday before Lindgren is back between the pipes at home Tuesday against Detroit.

Stops 30 shots in win Lindgren saved 30 of the 32 shots he saw in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Despite allowing two of the first four goals of the game, Lindgren tended a clean third period to help guide the Capitals to Sunday's win. The 31-year-old netminder is up to a 15-10-3 record with a .899 save percentage and a 2.64 GAA. Lindgren has won four of his last five outings and has benefitted from the Caps' success this season. Despite playing behind Logan Thompson on Washington's depth chart, Lindgren is a great streaming option in all formats to deploy for a spot start. The Capitals play three games this week so Lindgren is likely to defend the crease in one of those outings.

He has a 14-10-3 record with one shutout, a 2.66 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 28 appearances this season.

Not busy in Wednesday's win Lindgren made 15 saves in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact The veteran netminder didn't face more than seven shots in any period, but the Rangers still took a 2-1 lead into the third period before Alex Ovechkin tied things up and Tom Wilson potted the OT winner. The victory was the third for Lindgren in his last four starts, and over seven outings since returning from an upper-body injury in late January, he's gone 4-2-1 with a 2.69 GAA and .883 save percentage.
