Charlie Lindgren - Questionable Thursday Lindgren is dealing with a personal matter which could sideline him for Game 5 against the Hurricanes on Thursday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Impact With Lindgren in doubt, the Caps promoted Clay Stevenson from AHL Hershey to potentially serve as the backup to Logan Thompson in Game 5. The 31-year-old Lindgren was on the ice for the morning skate and could still dress in Thursday's game. Regardless of who backs up, Thompson will get the starting nod, making fantasy value for the others minimal.

Clay Stevenson - Called up from minors Stevenson was recalled from AHL Hershey on Thursday.
Impact Stevenson's elevation to the NHL roster could be an indication that Logan Thompson or Charlie Lindgren is in danger of missing out against the Hurricanes in Game 5 on Thursday. The Bears aren't in action until Friday's clash with Charlotte, so there is still time for Stevenson to head back down if he's not needed by the Caps.

Logan Thompson - Slated to start Game 5 Head coach Spencer Carbery said Wednesday that Thompson is slated to start Thursday's Game 5 at home against the Hurricanes, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Thompson hasn't been particularly sharp over the last two games, posting a 4.03 GAA and .877 save percentage en route to back-to-back losses. The Capitals are now facing a 3-1 deficit in the series, but the team appears set to lean upon the 28-year-old once again Thursday. Thompson was much more effective over his first five appearances in the playoffs, going 5-2-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .931 save percentage, so he'll attempt to bounce back in Thursday's Game 5.

Jakob Chychrun - Two points in Game 4 loss Chychrun scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist Monday in the Capitals' 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4 of their second-round series.
Impact Both points came in the third period as the Caps tried in vain to rally from an early 2-0 deficit. It was the first time in the series that Chychrun had gotten onto the scoresheet, and through nine playoff contests the 27-year-old blueliner has three goals and five points, with Monday's helper being his first point on the power play.

Impact Washington's offense didn't wake up until the third period after falling behind 2-0, but Thompson couldn't give them a window to find an equalizer in the final frame. Thompson has given up four goals in back-to-back starts after looking sharp to begin the series, and with the Caps facing elimination in Game 5 on Thursday, the 28-year-old netminder will need to regain his earlier form. Through nine playoff games, Thompson still sports a 2.45 GAA and .918 save percentage.
