The Washington Capitals, while aiming for the Metropolitan Division title and the Presidents' Trophy, face goaltending concerns as the season nears its end. Although Logan Thompson started strong, his performances have declined significantly since February, posting negative GSAA rates. Meanwhile, Charlie Lindgren's numbers have also worsened but not as drastically. Combined, the duo has allowed 3.00 goals per game in the last stretch, which is a significant increase compared to the earlier part of the season. With playoffs approaching, this trend raises alarms about their defensive capabilities.
Goaltending has been a concern for the Capitals as both Thompson and Lindgren's performances have dropped significantly in the last months leading into the playoffs.
Since February 1, the Capitals' goaltending tandem has allowed 3.00 goals per game, compared to just 2.27 goals per game in the first half of the season.
