Lindgren Tapped to Start Wednesday vs. Jets Amidst Middling Season

Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, indicating he will start at home against the Jets, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post. His 2025-26 campaign has been middling, with a 3-3-1 record, 3.14 GAA, and one shutout in eight appearances. The 31-year-old's decreased workload this season suggests he might miss the 20-win threshold for the first time since 2022-23.
