With the outing, he improved to a 2.71 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage along with an NHL-best six shutouts across 49 appearances (47 starts). The Flyers, Red Wings, and Penguins all have an opportunity to grab the final playoff spot in the east, as well.
Charlie Lindgren Making Fifth Straight Start Monday
Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren is making his fifth straight start on Monday for a crucial tilt with the Boston Bruins. Not only is it Lindgren's fifth consecutive start but also his 17th over the team's last 18 games as the team continues to go with the hot hand with Lindgren out-playing veteran Darcy Kuemper this season. The 30-year-old has posted a 2.77 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage across 48 outings (46 starts) on the season, going 23-16-7 in that time. For comparison, Kuemper has turned in a 3.31 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 33 appearances (30 starts), going 13-14-3 on the campaign. The Capitals currently occupy the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference but are tied with the Flyers and Red Wings with 87 points and are just one point ahead of the Penguins despite a minus-40 goal differential.
Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren kept the Jets grounded on Sunday, recording a 27-save shutout in a 3-0 win. It's his fifth shutout of the season, which puts Lindgren tied for the third spot in the league behind Arizona's Connor Ingram and Pittsburgh's Tristan Jarry. Lindgren has given a major boost to the Capitals, who have come back from the dead to re-enter the playoff race in the Eastern Conference. The 30-year-old is on an 8-3-0 run this month, allowing only 2.22 goals with a .923 save percentage.

He now owns a rock-solid 2.58 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage across 23 games on the season, going 10-7-4 in the process. Of course, his assignment on Tuesday is a difficult one as the Avalanche rank second in the NHL with 3.66 goals per game on the season.

Lindgren has missed three games with a lower-body injury, but is making progress and is almost ready to return. The Caps have three days off after Sunday's game, however, so they could opt to give Lindgren some extra time off. When he returns, he should go back to splitting starts with Darcy Kuemper, a role in which he has performed admirably, going 7-3-3 with a 2.27 GAA, .928 SV%, and 11.2 GSAA. If he is on the waiver wire and goalies are sparse, he could make for a solid addition.

The Kings had averaged over four goals per game before running into Lindgren, who improved to 5-2-0 for the year. He's been in outstanding form with a 2.30 goals-against average and a .934 save percentage, and the workload has lately been shared in the crease between him and regular starter Darcy Kuemper.

The Capitals are playing their first of a back-to-back on Wednesday, meaning it's exceedingly likely Darcy Kuemper will get the nod Thursday in Anaheim against the Ducks.

In four starts this season, Lindgren has posted an impressive 3-0-1 record with a 1.76 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage.

Charlie Lindgren Starts For Washington On Saturday

He was also used on opening night versus Pittsburgh when Capitals No. 1 Darcy Kuemper missed the game for personal reasons. Lindgren hasn't featured at all since then, as he's hit some early-season health issues. However, he's available now, and this should be a favorable matchup on paper for Lindgren.

This is also a clash the Capitals tend to dominate, with the Blue Jackets having won only one of the last five head-to-head meetings.

He's been in superb form with a 1.22 goals-against average and a .958 save percentage, allowing more than one goal just once. Lindgren has been incredible for the team, but Jordan Binnington has cleared COVID-19 protocols and is set to return to the crease soon, which will be a big blow to Lindgren's fantasy value.

Lindgren replaced Husso Tuesday night and collected the win. He also had a winning appearance on Thursday against Detroit, impressing with 29 saves in a 6-2 victory. The 27-year-old looks well placed to grab another win against his former team, as Montreal is struggling with injuries.
