Charlie Lindgren
G - Washington Capitals
Next Game
Eligibility
Charlie Lindgren was brilliant in the crease for the Capitals Thursday night, stopping 32 of 33 shots faced in a 2-1 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Fantasy Impact
Lindgren has returned to his early-season form in net, allowing less than two goals in each of his last two starts (2-0-0) for the Capitals. The 30-year-old continues to form a reliable netminding tandem with Logan Thompson in Washington, carrying a .903 save percentage and 2.66 GAA in 14 starts (9-5-0) between the pipes so far this season.
Charlie Lindgren was stellar in net for the Capitals Saturday, stopping all 18 shots faced to record the shutout in a 3-0 win over the Bruins.
Fantasy Impact
Lindgren has struggled to keep the puck out of the back of the net of late, allowing three or more goals in four of his last five starts (1-3-1) for the Capitals. The netminder will look to replicate his success in the crease Saturday into a return to his strong early-season form, posting a .915 save percentage and 2.58 GAA to go along with three shutouts in 23 appearances (10-7-4) so far this season.
Charlie Lindgren struggled between the pipes for the Capitals Friday night, allowing four goals on 35 shots faced in a 4-0 shutout loss to the Penguins.
Fantasy Impact
Lindgren will return to his role as No. 1 netminder Darcy Kuemper's backup, with the latter unable to play Friday night after welcoming his newborn son. The 29-year-old is not a trustworthy option for fantasy managers unless Kuemper is lost to injury at some point this season.
Charlie Lindgren allowed three goals on 34 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Lindgren improves to 12-6-2 in 23 games this season. The 29-year-old veteran remains an option in deeper leagues as the backup to Darcy Kuemper.
Charlie Lindgren allowed three goals on 31 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to Vegas Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Lindgren allowed two even strength goals and one power play goal in the loss. The 28-year-old is now 1-1-1 on the season and is only fantasy relevant should Darcy Kuemper miss time.
