Lindgren was the first goaltender off the ice for the Caps after the team's morning skate and is set to play his third game this month. Lindgren has made just five starts this fall and has not appeared since taking a 5-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 6. So far this season, Lindgren is 1-3-1 with a 3.59 goals-against average, a .878 save percentage,"

Thompson has started the team's previous four games and has made 13 total starts on the season, more than double Lindgren. Carbery told reporters early in the season that he expected Lindgren to play at least once a week or so."
