Lindgren will guard the home goal versus Carolina on Thursday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren has taken over as the Capitals' No. 1 goaltender as Logan Thompson is out of action with an upper-body injury. Lindgren will make his third straight start and is 1-1-0 since replacing Thompson, allowing seven goals on only 44 shots (.841 save percentage). Overall, Lindgren is 18-13-3 with a 2.71 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 36 appearances in 2024-25. The Hurricanes are generating 3.21 goals per game this season, which ranks ninth in the NHL.

Lindgren allowed four goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren took his first loss in four appearances in April, though he's allowed 12 goals on 87 shots in that span. The 31-year-old gave up a pair in the first period, and the Capitals' offense didn't have a comeback in them even with Alex Ovechkin setting the all-time goals record with his 895th career tally at 7:26 of the second period. Lindgren slipped to 18-13-3 with a 2.71 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 36 appearances this season. Logan Thompson (upper body) has been out for the last two games, and Lindgren will continue to see a heavy workload until Thompson is healthy again.

Lindgren will defend the road net against the Islanders on Sunday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren is coming off a 19-save effort in Friday's 5-3 win over Chicago. He has posted a record of 18-12-3 with one shutout, a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 35 appearances this season. Lindgren will be Washington's No. 1 netminder until Logan Thompson (upper body) is ready to return to the lineup. The Islanders sit 25th in the league with 2.72 goals per game in 2024-25.

Lindgren stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren has allowed either two or three goals in eight straight outings, going 5-2-0 in that span. The Blackhawks scored all three of their goals in the first two periods before the Capitals took over in the third in a game that saw Alex Ovechkin pull even with Wayne Gretzky atop the all-time goals list. Lindgren was able to improve to 18-12-3 despite a fairly mediocre outing. He's added a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. Lindgren will likely operate as the Capitals' No. 1 goalie until Logan Thompson (upper body) is able to return. The Capitals visit the Islanders on Sunday.

Lindgren will be between the home pipes versus Chicago on Friday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren will replace the injured Logan Thompson (upper body) as the Capitals' No. 1 goaltender in the short-term. Lindgren is 17-12-3 with one shutout, a 2.66 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 34 appearances in 2024-25. The Blackhawks are tied for 27th in NHL scoring this season, generating 2.69 goals per game.

Lindgren turned aside 17 of 19 shots after replacing Logan Thompson (upper body) to begin the second period of Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Neither Washington goalie saw much success in this one, but the loss went on Thompson's ledger. Lindgren has allowed three goals or fewer in all seven of his outings since the beginning of March, going 4-2-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .898 save percentage over that span while working in a timeshare with Thompson. Lindgren's workload would be set to increase dramatically if the other netminder's injury proves to be serious.

Lindgren stopped 21 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren continues to rotate with Logan Thompson between the pipes for the Capitals, and he continues to respond whenever he's called upon. Lindgren has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.62 GAA and a .901 save percentage over his last five appearances, but the fact that he's posted a save percentage below .890 in three of those outings could be concerning for fantasy managers who are considering Lindgren as a streaming option.

Lindgren will protect the road crease Tuesday against the Bruins, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren has alternated wins and losses over his last four appearances, with his last start coming in a 4-2 loss to Minnesota on Thursday. The 31-year-old is sporting a 16-12-3 record, 2.65 GAA and .897 save percentage over 32 outings this season. Lindgren is a strong play for this matchup against a Boston club that has produced 2.61 goals per game this season, the fourth-worst mark in the NHL.

Lindgren stopped 17 of 20 shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren's outing started strong, but he ended up allowing a pair of goals in the second period, which would be enough for the Wild to grab the win. Overall, the 31-year-old netminder has a 16-12-3 record with a 2.65 GAA and an .897 save percentage. Since the beginning of March, Lindgren has gone 3-2-0 with a .903 save percentage in five starts. Washington's top netminder Logan Thompson is likely slated for the majority of starts as the Capitals look to secure the highest seed in the Eastern Conference, meaning Lindgren has varying value in fantasy for the rest of the season. More specifically, Lindgren is best used as a streaming option in the fantasy playoffs but has heightened value against struggling offenses.

Lindgren will guard the road goal against the Wild on Thursday, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Lindgren has won three of his last four outings, stopping 95 of 104 shots. He has a 16-11-3 record with one shutout, a 2.63 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 31 appearances this season. Minnesota sits 28th in the league with 2.68 goals per game in 2024-25.
