Prior to Wednesday, Lindgren had started six games in a row, going 3-3-0 with a 3.02 GAA and a .901 save percentage in that span.

He's seen a vast majority of the playing time lately, starting nine of the Capitals' last 10 games to put Darcy Kuemper firmly in the backup role.

Starting Thursday Lindgren will start on the road versus the Penguins on Thursday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Lindgren's strong season has hit a rough patch, as he's gone 1-2-1 with 17 goals allowed over his last four games. He'll be making his fourth straight start Thursday, as Darcy Kuemper (illness) is unavailable and Hunter Shepard is up from AHL Hershey as the backup.

Downed by Coyotes Lindgren stopped 23 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Arizona, with the Coyotes' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact Two of the goals against Lindgren came on power plays as the Caps took a number of undisciplined penalties in a game they probably couldn't afford to lose. The 30-year-old netminder has lost three of his last four starts, going 1-2-1 while giving up 17 goals on 110 shots (.845 save percentage), and the door could be open for Darcy Kuemper -- who has allowed three goals or less in five straight outings since the All-Star break -- to take on a bigger workload.

Collects win against Philly Lindgren made 21 saves in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Impact After coughing up eight goals against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Lindgren looked like he might be in for another rough outing Friday when the Flyers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period. The 30-year-old netminder didn't lose focus though and shut the door the rest of the way. The win was his 13th of the season, tying the career high he set in 2022-23, but his hold on the starting job for the Capitals could be slipping -- since the beginning of February, Lindgren's gone 4-3-1 in eight starts with a shaky 3.46 GAA and .884 save percentage.

Wiped out by Wings Lindgren turned aside 23 shots in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to Detroit.

Impact The Red Wings scored at least two goals in each period as the Capitals' defense hung Lindgren out to dry, but it was J.T. Compher's shorthanded tally with just 13 seconds left in the second period that crushed Washington's hopes of a comeback. It's the third time in his last nine outings Lindgren has coughed up five or more goals, a stretch in which he's gone 3-4-2 with a 4.11 GAA and .869 save percentage. Tuesday's rout wasn't his fault, but it wouldn't be a shock if Darcy Kuemper worked his way back into a timeshare in the crease.

Lindgren is 3-1-1 in his last five with one shutout. He has started 26 games this season, which matches his starts from last season, but he has upped his game significantly. Lindgren has a 2.64 GAA and .914 save percentage compared to last year's 3.05 GAA and .899 save percentage. The undrafted 30-year-old is having the best season of his career, and he continues to outperform Darcy Kuemper, who has a single win in his last five appearances (1-2-1).

Lindgren has not been consistent as of late, allowing 11 goals over a two game span at the end of January and then shutting out the Bruins on Feb. 10. That being said, his regular season has been solid as he has totalled three shutouts and a 2.65 GAA.
