Lindgren is expected to get the road start Thursday against the Maple Leafs, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports. - Lindgren has largely supplanted Darcy Kuemper as the Capitals' lead goaltender in recent weeks and his 2.12 GAA and .929 save percentage behind a 8-2-0 record over the last 10 games is a significant reason why the Capitals are currently sitting in a playoff position. A road start against the Maple Leafs is never an easy assignment but with Auston Matthews (illness) questionable and the Toronto already without Mitch Marner (ankle) and Morgan Reilly (upper body), Lindgren has a chance to face a less potent Toronto attack than normal. Those who have ridden the 30-year-old's fortunes to the fantasy playoffs should continue to do so. |

Lindgren saved 21 of 23 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers. - 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. |

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 continues to play well overall, and through six appearances in December he's gone 2-1-2 with a 2.52 GAA and .918 save percentage. With Darcy Kuemper also putting together a good month, the Capitals will likely continue splitting the workload in the crease between the two goalies. |

Lindgren stopped 29 of 32 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Flyers. - It wasn't the sharpest performance from the 29-year-old netminder, who has been inconsistent lately -- Lindgren shut out the Rangers in his last start but has coughed up 10 goals on 92 shots (.891 save percentage) in his other three most recent appearances. Darcy Kuemper is also struggling to find his form, so the duo could remain in a timeshare until one of them heats up. |

Lindgren (illness) skated as part of Monday's optional skate and should be available against Arizona, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports. - Lindgren was on the ice with fellow reserve netminder Hunter Shepard, so it's possible either goalie could dress as the backup behind Darcy Kuemper on Monday. Eventually, the Caps will return Shepard to the minors with Lindgren slotting into the No. 2 role.

Lindgren (illness) was on the ice prior to Sunday's practice, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports. - Lindgren was held out of Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights, but he appears to be making a quick recovery.

Lindgren is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Wednesday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post. - Lindgren has a 4-2-0 record, 2.51 GAA and .926 save percentage in six contests this season. That's a great start to the campaign, but he did allow five goals on 35 shots in a 5-0 loss to Edmonton in his last appearance Friday. He's also up against an elite team in the Kings, who have a 13-3-3 record and rank first offensively with 4.00 goals per game.

Lindgren stopped 33 of 36 shots in the Capitals' 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. - Being helped to a 3-1 lead heading into the third period, Lindgren did just enough to shut down the Blue Jackets to pick up a 4-3 win. This now gives Lindgren wins in four straight games, where he has just coughed up six goals in that span. He now carries a 4-1-0 record with a 2.01 GAA and a .940 save percentage. The former Canadien could start to carve more of a split with Darcy Kuemper if he continues his hot play. |

Lindgren will get the start at home Saturday against the Blue Jackets, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports. - Lindgren was stellar in a 35-save shutout effort against the Golden Knights on Wednesday, so he is getting rewarded with another start.

Lindgren made 35 saves in a 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. - His mates staked him to a 2-0 lead after the first frame, and he never relinquished it to earn his first win. Dmitri Voronkov tipped a puck past Lindgren on a perfect screen play at 1:38 of the second, but from there, he bricked up the net. It was Lindgren's first appearance since Oct. 13 in a loss to Pittsburgh. He doesn't get enough starts to provide value to fantasy managers. |

The 29-year-old goaltender stopped 31 of 35 shots in a 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Oct. 13, but hasn't been asked to play in net since. Darcy Kuemper has been leaned on heavily and is expected to continue to serve as the Capitals' No. 1 netminder. |

Lindgren suffered an undisclosed injury at Monday's practice, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports. - Lindgren's current injury concern is reportedly unrelated to the back problem that previously forced him to spend some time on injured reserve. Without any back-to-backs on the schedule this week, it's possible that Lindgren won't miss any potential starts. Even once Lindgren is back to 100 percent, Darcy Kuemper figures to remain the primary starter. |

Lindgren stopped 31 of the 35 shots he faced in Friday's 4-0 setback against the Penguins. - Despite the rather lopsided score, the Lakeville, Minn. native did a good job in between the pipes with Darcy Kuemper away from the team for personal reasons. Two of the four goals Lindgren allowed were power-play goals off the stick of Sidney Crosby, and none of the goals allowed can be considered bad ones. The Caps will look to bounce back Monday against the Flames. |

Lindgren will protect the home goal Friday versus the Penguins, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports. - Lindgren draws the start in the season opener because Darcy Kuemper is with his family after welcoming a new baby.

Lindgren (upper body) is listed as healthy on the Capitals' training camp roster released Tuesday. - Lindgren missed some time late in 2022-23 with the injury, but it was never expected to keep him out of action to begin this season. The 29-year-old enters 2023-24 as Darcy Kuemper's presumptive backup. Lindgren played in a career-high 31 contests a year ago and should see similar usage, giving him some late-round fantasy appeal in deep formats. |
None |

Lindgren (undisclosed) will not dress for the final game of the season Thursday versus Washington. - Lindgren was injured Tuesday versus Boston. He will end the season with a 13-11-3 record.

Lindgren will protect the road goal Tuesday versus the Bruins, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports. - Lindgren will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Darcy Kuemper won versus the Islanders on Monday. It's unclear if this will be Lindgren's last appearance of the season. He's lost his last three outings (0-2-1), surrendering 15 goals over that span, and even an injury-cautious Bruins team is still an intimidating opponent. |

Lindgren made 35 saves in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Wild. - For the most part, Minnesota's goals came as a result of the Wild out-working Washington's defense rather than poor play by Lindgren, but he still lost for the third time in four starts since the All-Star break. With Darcy Kuemper (upper body) banged up, Lindgren's workload could increase significantly in the short term, but his 2.87 GAA and .902 save percentage don't make him a particularly appealing fantasy option. |
None |

Lindgren will guard the road goal Sunday versus the Wild, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports. - Lindgren is coming off a 23-save effort in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout win over Buffalo. He has a 13-8-2 record this season with a 2.78 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 27 appearances.

Lindgren is expected to start at home Wednesday versus Buffalo, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. - Washington has been leaning heavily on Darcy Kuemper lately, so this will be Lindgren's first appearance since Feb. 26.

Lindgren stopped 16 of 18 shots after replacing Darcy Kuemper midway through the second period of Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Sabres. - He was only marginally more effective than Kuemper was, as the Capitals' defense was the real culprit in the poor afternoon showing.

None |

Lindgren stopped 17 of 20 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks. - Anaheim's final goal was scored into an empty net. Lindgren had little chance on the Ducks' first tally, which came on a breakaway after the Capitals defense fell asleep midway through the second period, but the netminder would probably like to have the next two back. Lindgren hasn't seen a lot of work lately behind a healthy Darcy Kuemper, and his recent performance hasn't warranted more action -- over seven appearances since the beginning of January, Lindgren has a 3.12 GAA and an .875 save percentage. |

Lindgren gave up two goals on nine shots in relief of Darcy Kuemper in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights. - Lindgren avoided picking up a decision here, but he didn't show very well despite limited tests from the Golden Knights. The 29-year-old has lost both of his starts in January, and he's given up eight goals on 51 shots over three appearances this month. With Kuemper generally playing well -- Saturday aside -- Lindgren has had reduced opportunities to get between the pipes. He's at 11-6-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 21 appearances, which are solid numbers for a backup. |

Lindgren made 31 saves in a 9-2 win over the Canadiens on Saturday. - Cole Caufield beat him twice. The first was a rocket one-timer from the left face-off circle on a 4-on-3 power play and the second came on a breakaway after the sniper stole the puck from Lars Eller.

Lindgren will be in the visiting crease against Toronto on Saturday, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports. - Lindgren has taken over as the No. 1 goaltender with the Capitals as Darcy Kuemper (upper body) has missed the last six games. Kuemper is slated to return at any time and could be well enough Saturday to be the backup, so Lindgren's time as the starter could be coming to an end. Lindgren is 7-4-2 with a 2.76 GAA and a .910 save percentage. He'll face the Maple Leafs, who are tied for third in the NHL standings with a 19-6-6 record. |

Per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press, Lindgren was the first goaltender off the ice at practice Thursday, indicating that he will guard the home goal against Dallas. - Lindgren has won five straight games, improving his record to 7-3-2 this season. He has been stellar of late, giving up only nine goals on 146 shots during the winning streak and will provide Darcy Kuemper (upper body) with a battle for the top job, upon his return.

The Capitals are likely to get the aforementioned Kuemper back from the injured list soon, but Lindgren has established himself as a capable netminder and should be started whenever he minds the cage. |
None |
| Dec. 11, 2022 |
Lindgren stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets. - Lindgren has helped the Capitals not miss Darcy Kuemper (upper body) too much, as this was the former's fourth straight win. The Jets didn't have anything going until they scored twice early in the third period, but the Capitals were able to settle down and protect the lead. Lindgren improved to 6-3-2 with a 2.79 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 12 outings overall, but he hasn't allowed more than two goals in any of his last five games. With Kuemper returning to skating Sunday, Lindgren's run as the starter may not last much longer, but he's proving he can be trusted when called upon. |
