Stellar in Wednesday's win Lindgren stopped 37 of 38 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Lindgren earned his fifth win in his last six appearances with the great effort against one of the league's best offenses. The Capitals' third line did the rest, scoring both goals to lead the way to the win. Lindgren is up to 5-2-0 with a 2.30 GAA and a .933 save percentage through seven games this season. He's working his way into a timeshare with Darcy Kuemper, who will likely start Thursday in Anaheim. Don't be surprised if Lindgren and Kuemper split the workload more evenly in the short term.

Slated to start Wednesday Lindgren is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Wednesday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact 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. Washington will also play Thursday against Anaheim, so if Lindgren is starting Wednesday, then Darcy Kuemper will likely get the nod versus the Ducks.

Cast away by teammates Lindgren made 30 saves in a 5-0 loss Friday to the Oilers.

Impact Edmonton was 3-for-4 on the power play, and the Caps skaters left Lindgren alone on an island all night long. He didn't even have a Wilson like Tom Hanks did in Cast Away. Lindgren should rebound -- he's been strong in November. But he'll see less ice time now that Darcy Kuemper is back, so monitor for the best matchup for him before you lock him into a week-long schedule.

Starting Friday Lindgren will defend the home crease versus Edmonton on Friday, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Lindgren has won his last four starts -- all in November-- giving up only six goals on 132 shots, as he has been outstanding of late. He is 4-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .940 save percentage this season. The Oilers easily led the NHL in scoring last season, but are 21st in the league this season, averaging 2.94 goals per game.

Picks up win Lindgren stopped 33 of 36 shots in the Capitals' 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

Impact 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.

Between the pipes Saturday Lindgren will get the start at home Saturday against the Blue Jackets, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Lindgren was stellar in a 35-save shutout effort against the Golden Knights on Wednesday and is getting rewarded with another start. The 29-year-old sports a sterling 1.76 GAA and .947 save percentage behind a 3-1-0 record in four starts and is worth starting in all formats against the struggling Blue Jackets.

Stops 35 in shutout Lindgren made 35 saves in Tuesday's 3-0 shutout win over the Golden Knights.

Impact It was a stellar performance from Lindgren, who's now won his last three starts, allowing just three goals on 96 shots in that span. While Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) dressed as the backup Tuesday, the 29-year-old Lindgren has certainly played well enough to merit more starting opportunities going forward. The Capitals are off until Saturday when they'll host the Blue Jackets.

Wins second straight start Lindgren made 24 saves in Friday's 4-2 win over the Devils.

Impact The 29-year-old netminder took a shutout, and a 3-0 lead, into the third period, and while he lost the clean sheet on a Timo Meier tally after he couldn't handle the rebound on a shot from Michael McLeod, Lindgren held on to record the victory. With Darcy Kuemper apparently needing a bit of a break -- coach Spencer Carbery said before Friday's game that Kuemper was "a little nicked up", per Mike Morreale of NHL.com -- Lindgren has started two of the last three games and won them both, allowing only three goals on 61 shots.

Impact Lindgren will make his third start of the season as Darcy Kuemper will be on the sidelines with general soreness. Lindgren is 1-1-0, turning aside 65 of 70 shots this season. He will face the Devils, who have scored 46 goals in 12 games but will be without top scorers Jack Hughes (shoulder) and Nico Hischier (upper body).

First win of season Lindgren made 35 saves in a 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

Impact His mates staked him to a 2-0 lead after the first frame, and he never relinquished it to earn his first win. Dmitry 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 October 13 in a loss to Pittsburgh. He doesn't get enough starts to provide value to fantasy managers.

Starting Saturday Lindgren will tend the home crease versus Columbus on Saturday, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Lindgren will make his second start of the season, losing on Opening Night to the Penguins as Darcy Kuemper was unable to go due to the birth of his child. Lindgren was 13-11-3 last season, with a 3.05 GAA and .899 save percentage. He faces the Blue Jackets, who have scored only 27 goals in 10 games this season.

Available Thursday Lindgren (leg) expects to be available for Thursday's home game versus the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lindgren's status was put into question after he took a puck to an unpadded spot on his leg during Monday's practice. The 29-year-old goaltender stopped 31 of 35 shots in a 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Oct. 13, but he 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.

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves practice early Lindgren suffered an undisclosed injury at Monday's practice, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return as backup Sunday Lindgren (back) is expected to return as Darcy Kuemper's backup Sunday versus the Sharks, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington.

Impact Lindgren has been out since hurting his back in practice Oct. 16. He was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site. The 29-year-old netminder has played just one game this season, allowing four goals on 35 shots in a loss to Pittsburgh in the Capitals' opener. With Lindgren set to return, Hunter Shepard has been sent back to AHL Hershey.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Lindgren (upper body) will not play Friday against the Wild, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Lindgren was a full participant in the morning skate, but he will get a little more time to heal up. Hunter Shepard will continue to back up Darcy Kuemper in the interim.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to ice Lindgren (upper body) was on the ice prior to Monday's practice, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Network reports.

Impact Lindgren was spotted doing individual skills work prior to the official start of Monday's practice. The 29-year-old's remains without a clear timeline to return to game action, so expect a heavy dose of Darcy Kuemper -- with Clay Stevenson backing up -- in the short term.

Impact Lindgren was hurt during Monday's morning skate and has missed two contests as a result. He started in the Capitals' season opener, stopping 31 of 35 shots in a 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh. With Lindgren unavailable, Clay Stevenson is serving as Darcy Kuemper's understudy.

Not going on trip Lindgren (upper body) won't be available for Washington's upcoming two-game road trip, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lindgren, who sat out Monday's 3-2 shootout win over Calgary after getting injured during the morning skate, will miss Wednesday's contest against Ottawa and Saturday's matchup with Montreal. Clay Stevenson will continue to serve as Darcy Kuemper's backup during Lindgren's absence.
