Nabs win on New Year's Eve Lindgren made 22 saves in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Set to start Wednesday Lindgren is set to start at home against the Rangers on Wednesday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Lindgren has a 5-4-2 record, 3.07 GAA and .888 save percentage in 12 appearances this season. He's made just two starts since Dec. 3, allowing eight goals on 59 shots (.864 save percentage) over those outings. Perhaps he'll have a better result against the Rangers, who rank 31st in goals per game with 2.54.

Picks up loss in Detroit Lindgren conceded three goals on 27 shots Sunday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Impact The Capitals forced overtime after trailing during the third period Sunday, but Moritz Seider ultimately blasted home a pass from Andrew Copp past Lindgren with just 24 seconds remaining in the extra frame. Lindgren has lost his last two starts, a small stretch in which he's given up eight goals on 59 shots. Overall, the 32-year-old has a 5-4-2 record, .888 save percentage and 3.07 GAA across 12 appearances as the backup to Logan Thompson this year. Thompson will more than likely be back between the pipes Tuesday against the Rangers.

Red Wings outlast Capitals 3-2 in OT to sweep home-and-home series

Starts Sunday Lindgren will start Sunday's game against the Red Wings, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.

Impact It'll be Lindgren for the Capitals who gets the second of the back-to-back with the Red Wings on Sunday. The 32-year-old will be making just his third start of the month, bringing a 5-4-1 record, 3.10 GAA and an .887 save percentage to the contest, not what the veteran netminder has shown in the past. We'll see if he fares better than his counterpart Logan Thompson, who allowed four goals Saturday in the front end of the two-game set.

Yields five goals in loss Lindgren allowed five goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Wild.

Impact Lindgren made his first start in his second game since being activated from injured reserve following an upper-body issue. The 31-year-old netminder didn't get any help in his return to the crease, sending him to his first loss since Nov. 6 in Pittsburgh. He's now 5-4-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 11 outings. Logan Thompson will likely be back between the pipes for Thursday's home game versus the Maple Leafs, but Lindgren should start once during the weekend's home-and-home set against the Red Wings.

Drawing start in Minnesota Lindgren will tend the twine Tuesday in Minnesota, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Lindgren is set to make just his second start in December -- he missed three games due to an upper-body injury but returned to the lineup to back up Logan Thompson on Saturday in Winnipeg. The 31-year-old Lindgren owns a 5-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.90 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 10 appearances in 2025-26. The Wild have won four consecutive games and now have Quinn Hughes in the fold, so this will be a formidable task for Lindgren.

Removed from IR Lindgren (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact The Capitals returned Garin Bjorklund to the minors in a corresponding move. After missing the last three games, Lindgren will dress as Logan Thompson's backup in Saturday's road matchup against Winnipeg.

Could be available Saturday Lindgren (upper body) will travel with the Capitals on their upcoming two-game road trip and could be activated off injured reserve as early as Saturday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumen...

Impact Lindgren has missed the last three games and could back up Logan Thompson on Saturday in Winnipeg. Lindgren is 5-3-1 with a 2.90 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Should he be activated, look for Garin Bjorklund to be sent to AHL Hershey.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IR Lindgren (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.

Impact Washington summoned Clay Stevenson from AHL Hershey in a corresponding move. Lindgren will miss his second straight game when the Capitals host Columbus on Sunday, but he will be eligible to return as early as Thursday's home matchup against Carolina. However, a timeline for his recovery remains unclear.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss more time Lindgren (upper body) isn't expected to be an option for Sunday's home matchup against Columbus, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Lindgren also sat out Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to Anaheim, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has posted a 5-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.90 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Parker Milner served as Logan Thompson's backup in Friday's contest.

Sitting out Friday Lindgren (upper body) will not dress for Friday's game versus the Ducks.

Impact Lindgren's absence comes after he stopped 23 of 24 shots Wednesday versus the Sharks. The Capitals were unable to make a regular roster move to accommodate his absence, which suggests this is a fairly new development. They signed Parker Milner to a professional tryout agreement to be the backup to Logan Thompson on Friday.

Keeps up winning ways Lindgren stopped 23 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact The Capitals' explosive attack in the first period was more than enough for Lindgren to work with. He's picked up four wins over his last five appearances, giving up just 10 goals in that span. The 31-year-old netminder struggled early in the year, but he's turned things around as part of a bigger upswing by the Capitals as a whole. Lindgren is now 5-3-1 with a 2.90 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 10 appearances. Logan Thompson is likely to stay Friday in Anaheim, and with no back-to-backs over the next week, it's not immediately clear when Lindgren will next get the starting nod.

Guarding goal Wednesday Lindgren will protect the road net versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lindgren has won his last three decisions, allowing nine goals on 90 shots over four appearances in that span. He'll play the second half of a back-to-back after Logan Thompson guided the Capitals to a 3-1 win over the Kings on Tuesday. The Sharks present a bit of a challenge, as they've scored 15 goals while going 3-2-0 over their last five games.

Hangs on for third straight win Lindgren turned aside 18 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Washington grabbed a 2-0 lead midway through the first period, and while Winnipeg rallied to tie it early in the second, Lindgren made sure that the Caps' next lead didn't slip away. The veteran netminder has won three straight decisions, going 3-1-1 over six November outings with a 2.81 GAA and .889 save percentage as he tries to work his way into a timeshare with Logan Thompson.

Alex Ovechkin stays hot to lift Capitals 4-3 over Jets

Alex Ovechkin scored his 908th career NHL goal and the Washington Capitals beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 on Wednesday night

First goalie off Wednesday Lindgren was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes versus the Jets.

Impact Lindgren's 2025-26 campaign has been middling at best, as he has posted a 3-3-1 record, 3.14 GAA and one shutout in eight appearances. Given his decreased workload to open the year, the 31-year-old backstop could miss the 20-win threshold for the first time since 2022-23. Perhaps a strong outing or two by Lindgren will force the Caps to go back to a split share in the crease.
