Lindgren was the first goalie to exit the ice Thursday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren is undefeated in regulation over his last three outings, posting a 2-0-1 record to go with a 3.64 GAA. Despite his strong run, the 31-year-old netminder has found himself playing second fiddle behind Logan Thompson, who has been seeing the bulk of the starts recently. Still, Lindgren should see more opportunities than most No. 2 goalies in the league.

Lindgren stopped 22 of 25 shots faced during Sunday's 7-3 home win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren was buoyed by another effort of seven-plus goals by the Capitals, including a hat trick from Alex Ovechkin. The 31-year-old improves to a 2.63 GAA and a .900 save percentage to go along with a 13-9-3 record in 26 starts and is likely to be in action when the Capitals face the Blues on Thursday.

Lindgren will guard the road crease Sunday against the Oilers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren will get the nod Sunday in the second leg of a back-to-back after Logan Thompson started Saturday's win over the Penguins. The 31-year-old Lindgren is 12-9-3 with a .900 save percentage and a 2.63 GAA this season.

Lindgren notched a win Thursday with a 19-save performance against the Flyers. The final score was 4-3.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren was sharp, handing the Flyers their seventh loss in eight games. He was beaten twice by Matvei Michkov, and Tyson Foerster put a power-play snipe past him. Lindgren is 2-1-1 with one shutout, 10 goals allowed and a .903 save percentage in four starts since his upper-body injury. He and Logan Thompson have been time-sharing starts since his return from injury, and that will likely continue even with Thompson's recent contract extension (six years, $35.1 million with a $5.85 AAV).

Lindgren will start on the road against the Flyers on Thursday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren was inconsistent to close out January, as he picked up his first shutout win of the season on the road against the Kraken on Jan. 23 before settling for losses in each of his last two appearances. Across those two outings -- which came against the Canucks and Senators -- he went 0-1-1 with a 3.49 GAA and .881 save percentage. He didn't appear in either of the Capitals' last two games but will have a somewhat favorable matchup against the Flyers, who rank 23rd in the league with 2.78 goals per game.

Lindgren turned aside 30 of 34 shots faced during Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren kept the Capitals in it long enough to force the overtime frame, but was hung out to dry on Thomas Chabot's overtime-winning tally. With Washington employing a fairly rigid split in netminding assignments between Lindgren and Logan Thompson, the 31-year-old is likely to find himself next in action on Feb. 4 against the Panthers.

Lindgren is expected to start in Thursday's road clash against Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren stopped 23 of 25 shots en route to a 2-1 loss against Vancouver in his last start Saturday. He's 11-9-2 with a 2.51 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 23 outings in 2024-25. The Senators rank 25th in goals per game with 2.72 in 2024-25.

Lindgren stopped 23 of 25 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The Capitals altered their goaltending rotation to allow Logan Thompson to start Tuesday in his hometown of Calgary. That meant a second straight start for Lindgren, who played well but didn't get much help from his teammates in this narrow loss. Quinn Hughes had both of the goals for the Canucks. Lindgren slipped to 11-9-2 with a 2.51 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 23 appearances. Assuming the alternating pattern resumes next week, Lindgren should be penciled in to start in the road-trip finale at Ottawa on Thursday.

Lindgren is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren will make his second straight start after earning a 22-save shutout win over Seattle on Thursday. He's 11-8-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 22 outings this season. The Canucks are tied for 23rd in goals per game with 2.81. Logan Thompson will get the nod for Tuesday's road game versus Calgary.

Lindgren posted a 22-save shutout in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
This was Lindgren's first game action since Jan. 10 versus the Canadiens. The 31-year-old had lost his previous four results (0-2-2), but he snapped that skid with his first shutout of the season. His upper-body injury gave Logan Thompson a chance to gain some momentum between the pipes, so it's possible Lindgren may not see the steady 50-50 split of playing time there was prior to his absence. Lindgren is 10-8-2 with a 2.65 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 21 outings. The Capitals continue their road trip in Vancouver on Saturday.
