Lindgren made 27 saves, including 14 in the third period, in a 3-2 victory over the Flyers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Caps were up 3-0 heading into the third, and while the Flyers managed two goals, the game was never in doubt. Lindgren has won three of his last four starts, and he's allowed just nine goals in that span. Logan Thompson continues to get a few more starts than Lindgren, but the 31-year-old Minnesotan continues to produce solid fantasy numbers. He's 16-11-3 with a 2.63 GAA and .901 save percentage in 31 starts.

Lindgren will be between the home pipe against Philadelphia on Thursday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren has allowed three or more goals in five of his last seven appearances, going 4-2-1 with a .874 save percentage. With the 31-year-old backstop struggling, the team has started to lean more heavily on Logan Thompson, though Lindgren should still see plenty of starts down the stretch.

Lindgren allowed three goals on 27 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren gave up two goals in a span of 47 seconds early in the third period, and that proved too much for the Capitals to overcome. Prior to Thursday, the 31-year-old netminder had won four of his last five outings. He's now 15-11-3 with a 2.65 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 30 starts this season. If the Capitals continue on their goalie rotation, Logan Thompson would start the road-trip finale in San Jose on Saturday.

Lindgren was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating he'll patrol the blue paint on the road against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren is back to splitting the workload with Logan Thompson, having started two of the Capitals' last four outings in which he posted a 2-0-0 record and 1.93 GAA. Given the current rotation, fantasy managers should probably expect Thompson to get the road start versus the Sharks on Saturday before Lindgren is back between the pipes at home Tuesday against Detroit.

Lindgren saved 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Despite allowing two of the first four goals of the game, Lindgren tended a clean third period to help guide the Capitals to Sunday's win. The 31-year-old netminder is up to a 15-10-3 record with a .898 save percentage and a 2.64 GAA over 29 games. Lindgren has won four of his last five outings and has benefited from the Caps' success this season. Despite playing behind Logan Thompson on Washington's depth chart, Lindgren is a great streaming option in all formats to deploy for a spot start. The Capitals play three games this week so Lindgren is likely to defend the crease in one of those outings.

Lindgren will protect the home net against Seattle on Sunday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren is coming off a 15-save effort in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers. He has won three of his last four outings despite surrendering 12 goals on 82 shots. He has a 14-10-3 record with one shutout, a 2.66 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. Seattle is tied for 14th in the league with 2.95 goals per game in 2024-25 and earned a 4-1 win over Philadelphia on Saturday.

Lindgren made 15 saves in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder didn't face more than seven shots in any period, but the Rangers still took a 2-1 lead into the third period before Alex Ovechkin tied things up and Tom Wilson potted the OT winner. The victory was the third for Lindgren in his last four starts, and over seven outings since returning from an upper-body injury in late January, he's gone 4-2-1 with a 2.69 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Lindgren will be between the pipes on the road versus the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren will make his first appearance in the crease for the Capitals since signing his three-year contract extension Monday. At this point, the 31-year-old netminder will likely face an uphill battle to reach the 20-win threshold, having secured just 13 victories in his 27 appearances.

Lindgren secured a three-year, $9 million contract from the Capitals on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren's deal follows the Caps' decision to re-sign fellow backstop Logan Thompson to a six-year, $35.1 million back in January, locking up their netminding duo for the foreseeable future. While Lindgren was seeing an even share of the duties for much of the year, he only played in three of the Caps' eight February contests. Still, Lindgren should continue to see plenty of work down the stretch, even if he has fallen behind Thompson in the pecking order.

Lindgren stopped 14 of 18 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blues. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 1:55 left in the third period.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren had won his previous two starts, but he never got it going Thursday and suffered his first loss in regulation since Jan. 25, when he stopped 23 of 25 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Canucks. Lindgren has been rotating between the pipes with Logan Thompson and has posted a 3-2-1 record with a 2.84 GAA and a .884 save percentage across his last six outings. Lindgren should continue to see a decent amount of opportunities between the posts going forward.
