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.

Sees action in relief Saturday Lindgren stopped nine of 10 shots in relief during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Lindgren entered the game late in the first period after Logan Thompson allowed four goals on six shots, including one on the power play and one shorthanded. The 31-year-old stepped up and did a good job, though he's not expected to enter a competition for the No. 1 role after Thompson's disappointing start. Lindgren should remain as the Capitals' No. 2 between the pipes despite this solid outing, meaning his upside will remain low and matchup-based for the time being.

Cruises to third win Lindgren stopped 24 shots in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Canadiens.

Impact After a 1-1 first period, the Caps began to pull away with two goals in the first four minutes of the second period, and Lindgren made sure the Habs never got level again. The veteran netminder has won back-to-back starts for the first time this season, and through seven outings he's gone 3-3-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .888 save percentage while backing up Logan Thompson.

Slated to start Thursday Lindgren is expected to get the starting nod for Thursday's road clash with Montreal, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lindgren is poised to take the second game of the Caps' back-to-back after Logan Thompson guards the cage at home Wednesday. In his six appearances this year, the 31-year-old Lindgren is 2-3-1 with a 3.17 GAA, one shutout and a .893 save percentage. So far, Lindgren has primarily featured in back-to-backs but could see more starts later in the year as the Caps try to keep Thompson fresh for a postseason run.

Shines in win Lindgren stopped 30 shots on 31 attempts on goal in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Lindgren held on down the stretch to grab his first win since Oct. 12, his first start of the season. With his trip back to the win column, the 31-year-old netminder has a 2-3-1 record with a 3.16 GAA and a .893 save percentage across six games this season. Monday's performance looked more consistent with his last two seasons with the Capitals, where he surpassed the 20-win mark in both campaigns. He remains firmly behind starting goalie Logan Thompson on Washington's depth chart, but more performances like these can bring the share of games closer to an even split. For now, Lindgren is best deployed as a spot start in fantasy with his low volume of starts this season. If Thompson gets the nod in the Capitals' game on Wednesday, there is a chance the team will turn to Lindgren one night later for Thursday's matchup with the Canadiens.

Ovechkin scores 903rd career goal as Capitals edge Kings 2-1

Set to face Kings Lindgren will patrol the home crease against the Kings on Monday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Lindgren has lost his last four outings (0-3-1) while surrendering 18 goals on 112 shots. It's been a rocky road for the 31-year-old netminder after he posted a 35-save shutout win against the Rangers on Oct. 12 in his season debut. The Kings rank 22nd in the league with 2.84 goals per game this campaign.

Falls to Penguins Lindgren allowed four goals on 30 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Penguins on Thursday.

Impact Lindgren has now lost four straight games, posting a 0-3-1 record and 4.49 GAA during his slump. The Minnesota native was already expected to see less of the net this season than he did in 2024-25 (39 games), but this slump will only serve to further cement Logan Thompson as the No. 1 option in Washington.

Slated to start Thursday Lindgren is expected to be between the visiting pipes in Pittsburgh on Thursday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Logan Thompson picked up the start Wednesday against the Blues putting Lindgren in line for Thursday's start. Lindgren is 1-2-1 with one shutout, a 3.47 GAA and an .880 save percentage this season. The Penguins are eighth in NHL scoring, averaging 3.50 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Falls short in shootout Lindgren made 21 saves on 24 attempts on net in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Impact After allowing three goals in the first, Lindgren survived the extra period before surrendering the lone tally of the shootout to Buffalo defenseman Bowen Byram. With the loss, Lindgren now has a 1-2-1 record, 3.47 GAA and a .880 save percentage through four appearances. With each loss that passes for the 31-year-old goalie, Washington's starting netminder Logan Thompson seems to grab a larger hold on the top spot of the depth chart. While Lindgren appeared in 39 regular-season games a year ago, he is on pace to take the ice in just 20 games this year if the current goalie rotation keeps up. Lindgren still has some fantasy value as a spot start, but there are likely better external options receiving more opportunities in net than him.

Expected to face Buffalo Lindgren is set to guard the road crease against Buffalo on Saturday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Lindgren earned a 35-save shutout in his season debut against the Rangers on Oct. 12, but he's allowed 11 goals on 58 shots (.810 save percentage) in his two outings since that perfect game. He's also traditionally had mixed results against the Sabres, posting a 2-2-1 record, 3.50 GAA and .877 save percentage across six career regular-season appearances. Buffalo is 4-4-3 and ranks 19th in goals per game with 3.00 this year.

Concedes seven goals Saturday Lindgren stopped 27 of 34 shots in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Lindgren was beaten four times on even strength and three times on the power play, as the Capitals couldn't find a way to slow down the Senators. The seven goals allowed were a season-high mark for Lindgren, who's expected to return to his regular backup role behind Logan Thompson when the Caps take on the Stars on the road next Tuesday.

Slated to start Saturday Lindgren will draw the home start against Ottawa on Saturday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact After opening the season with a 35-save shutout, Lindgren stumbled in his next outing against Vancouver last Sunday. He'll look to rebound here against an Ottawa team that's dropped five of its last seven and remains without Brady Tkachuk. Given the matchup, Lindgren profiles as a solid spot-start option in this matchup.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inefficient in defeat Lindgren stopped 20 of the 24 shots he faced during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Lindgren's second start of the season certainly didn't match the success of his first, in which he recorded a shutout. On Sunday, he let four goals in on just 24 shots, good for an .833 save percentage on the night. He is firmly entrenched as the backup behind Logan Thompson currently, but he should be in line to start at least one part of Washington's back-to-back Friday and Saturday this week.
