Charlie Lindgren - Page 19 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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.

Solid in opening game defeat Lindgren stopped 31 of the 35 shots he faced in Friday's 4-0 setback against the Penguins.

Impact 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.

Starting season opener Lindgren will protect the home goal Friday versus the Penguins, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Clear for training camp Lindgren (upper body) is listed as healthy on the Capitals' training camp roster released Tuesday.

Impact 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.

Not dressing Thursday Lindgren (undisclosed) will not dress for the final game of the season Thursday versus Washington.

Impact Lindgren was injured Tuesday versus Boston. He will end the season with a 13-11-3 record. His peripherals were mediocre this season as he had a 3.05 GAA and .899 save percentage. Lindgren still has another two seasons on his contract, so look for him to return next season as the backup to Darcy Kuemper.

APRIL 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Injury not considered serious Lindgren will miss Thursday's season finale against the Devils with an upper-body issue, but his injury isn't believed to be serious, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lindgren will finish the campaign having gone 13-11-3 while posting a 3.05 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 31 appearances. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 29-year-old netminder post similar numbers while serving as Washington's No. 2 netminder behind Darcy Kuemper in 2023-24.

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.
