"The Washington Capitals will be looking to bounce back against one of the hottest teams in the NHL on Tuesday night. After a very poor showing in a 5-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday, the Caps will be looking to get back in the win column on the road against a Minnesota Wild team that has won four games in a row. With the bad loss to the Jets will come a couple of lineup changes for the Capitals. Head coach Spencer Carbery revealed that Sonny Milano will be back in action against the Wild and Charlie Lindgren will make his first start since returning from an upper-body injury."
""We will have a few [changes]," Carbery said Tuesday morning. "Sonny will go back in. Chuckie Lindgren will start in net for us." Milano was a healthy scratch against the Jets, allowing rookie winger Bogdan Trineyev to make his NHL debut on the Capitals' fourth line. Milano has been sparsely used by Carbery in December, averaging just 8:08 of ice time in the four games he has played."
"Lindgren will return to the Capitals' net for the first time since he made 23 saves in a 7-1 win against the San Jose Sharks on December 3. The 31-year-old netminder was removed from injured reserve on Saturday and served as Logan Thompson's backup in Winnipeg. In five career appearances against the Wild, Lindgren, a Lakeville, Minnesota native, is 0-4-1 with a 3.26 goals-against average and a .892 save percentage. Overall this season, Lindgren is 5-3-1 with a 2.90 goals-against average, a .893 save perce"
The Capitals suffered a 5-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets and face a Minnesota Wild team on a four-game winning streak. Head coach Spencer Carbery said Sonny Milano will return to the lineup and Charlie Lindgren will start in net after returning from an upper-body injury. Milano had been a healthy scratch and averaged limited ice time in December, with six points across 19 games. Bogdan Trineyev will return to the press box along with Dylan McIlrath and Declan Chisholm. Lindgren was recently removed from injured reserve, served as backup in Winnipeg, and holds mixed career numbers versus the Wild.
