Impact Lindgren was a little shaky in his last start Saturday against St. Louis, surrendering three goals on only 29 shots en route to a 3-0 defeat. He'll try to get back in the win column in a rough road matchup with an Avalanche squad that's an impressive 18-5-0 at home this season.

Difference maker again Lindgren made 17 saves in a 5-2 win over the Blues on Thursday.

Gets little help in loss Lindgren made 29 saves in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Starting for the second straight day in a home-and-home set against the Blueshirts, Lindgren once again held a dangerous New York offense to only two goals, but unlike Saturday he didn't get enough offensive support to record a win. The fact that the 30-year-old immediately started two straight games after returning from an upper-body injury is a strong sign the Capitals view him as their No. 1 netminder, ahead of the struggling Darcy Kuemper.

Between the pipes Sunday Lindgren will get the road start Sunday against the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Lindgren will get back-to-back matinee appearances after stopping 25 of 27 shots faced during Saturday's 3-2 win against the Rangers. The 30-year-old has been the more consistent of the Capitals two netminders and getting the call on back-to-back games indicates Lindgren will continue to have a significant role moving forward. Darcy Kuemper might be at the top of the depth chart, but Lindgren's stellar play (2.25 GAA, .928 save percentage) has turned Washington into a legitimate timeshare between the pipes.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up win in return Lindgren stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact The 30-year-old netminder looked sharp in his return from an upper body injury that had sidelined him since Dec. 29, and Adam Fox was the only New York player to get a puck past him. Lindgren had moved into the top spot on the Caps' depth chart prior to his injury, posting a 2.27 GAA and .921 save percentage over seven outings in December before getting injury, and he'll likely regain it soon enough with Darcy Kuemper struggling badly since Christmas (4.26 GAA and .870 save percentage over his last six starts.)

Guarding crease Saturday Lindgren will get the home start Saturday against the Rangers, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Lindgren will get his first start since exiting early in the first period of a 5-1 loss to the Islanders on Dec. 29. The 30-year-old has been invaluable to the Capitals this season, posting a 2.27 GAA and .928 save percentage behind a 7-3-5 record in 15 starts this season. Darcy Kuemper is atop the depth chart, but Lindgren has been a reliable backstop thus far in the 2023-24 campaign and should continue to get his fair share of starts so fantasy managers should consider scooping him back up if he's available.
