Charlie Lindgren News

Lindgren will get the crease for the second half of the Capitals' back-to-back after they were victorious on Monday over Ottawa with Darcy Kuemper between the pipes. The 30-year-old Lindgren has been the better of Washington's two goalies this season, with his 12-8-5 record, 2.64 GAA and .914 SV%. He will look to pick up Washington's fifth win in six games Tuesday as he takes on Detroit, who are on a role having won five straight and eight of their last 11.

Lindgren will start for the second straight game on Thursday night. The 30-year-old netminder was excellent in Washington's last contest, saving 37 of 39 shots (.949 SV%) in a 6-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils. The Capitals are riding a two-game winning streak and are +174 road underdogs against the Tampa Bay Lightning, losers of two straight.

Lindgren will return to the crease on Tuesday night in a divisional matchup against the New Jersey Devils. Lindgren allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) in his last outing and has been inconsistent lately after a great start to the season. The 30-year-old netminder has one win in his last six games (1-4-1), a shutout, but has allowed three or more goals in the other five contests, posting an ugly .866 SV%. The Capitals enter action as +148 home underdogs against the Devils.

Lindgren snapped a four-game losing streak over the weekend and will return to the crease on Tuesday night. The 30-year-old Lindgren was sensational on Saturday, saving all 18 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Boston Bruins, giving him a career-high three shutouts this season. That said, the Capitals are +155 home underdogs on Tuesday, matching up poorly against the second-best offensive team in the league, the Colorado Avalanche (3.66 GF / GP).

The Capitals will turn to Lindgren on Tuesday, his third straight start, in their return to action from the All-Star break. Despite being favoured in between the pipes lately, starting four of the last five games (1-2-1), Lindgren has allowed three or more goals three times, posting an ugly .861 SV%. That said, the Capitals are -150 home favourites against Lindgren's former squad, the Montreal Canadiens, who have lost four of their last five (1-3-1).

With Washington on a back-to-back, Lindgren will take the crease Wednesday after backing up Darcy Kuemper on Tuesday. The 30-year-old has deservedly earned the majority of the Capitals' starts of late as he's put up a 3-2-1 record, and .928 SV% in his last seven games played. He takes on the Colorado Avalanche on the road Wednesday, who have won five of their last seven games and rank 2nd in the NHL in goals per game (3.77).

Lindgren will return to the crease on Thursday after watching Darcy Kuemper record a 2-0 shutout victory over the Anaheim Ducks in the last game for the Capitals. As he has been for most of the season, Lindgren has been excellent in his last two games since returning from injury (1-1-0), allowing only four total goals and posting a stellar .931 SV%. The Capitals are slight -109 home favourites against Lindgren's former club, the St. Louis Blues, amid a two-game losing streak.

Lindgren will get the rare start on back-to-back days for the back-end of the Capitals and Rangers home-and-home on Sunday. Lindgren delivered a solid performance against New York on Saturday, stopping 25 of the 27 shots he faced enroute to a 3-2 victory. He now owns an 8-3-3 record on the season to go along with his impressive .928 SV% and 2.25 GAA. Lindgren and the Capitals find themselves as +190 underdogs in New York on Sunday despite edging the Rangers yesterday afternoon.

Lindgren backed up Darcy Kuemper on Thursday, his first game back with the team after being on the injured reserve for five games with a lower-body injury. The Capitals have gone 2-3-1 since Lindgren last played. Before his injury, Lindgren saved 56 of the last 59 shots he faced (.949 SV%), posting a 1-0-1 record. The Capitals will be taking on a New York Rangers squad that defeated them 5-1 less than three weeks ago with Kuemper between the pipes.

Lindgren has been activated from IR after missing five games, resulting in Hunter Shepard being reassigned to the Hershey Bears (AHL). The Capitals have gone 2-2-1 in Lindgren's absence and will be eager to welcome him back. Before his injury, Lindgren saved 56 of the last 59 shots he faced (.949 SV%), posting a 1-0-1 record.

Lindgren is progressing from his lower-body injury and could return to the lineup as early as Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings. That said, after Sunday's matchup, the Capitals are off until Thursday, so they may opt to give Lindgren a few extra days of rest. Before his injury, Lindgren saved 56 of the last 59 shots he faced (.949 SV%), posting a 1-0-1 record.
