"The Washington Capitals are set for a New Year's Eve matinee matchup with the New York Rangers on Wednesday. The team's final game in the 2025 calendar year comes as they try to snap out of a funk that has seen them win just two of their last nine games. They'll also look to redeem themselves after an embarrassing 7-3 loss to the Rangers on December 23."
"Charlie Lindgren will get his 12th start of the 2025-26 season and first since a December 21 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings, per head coach Spencer Carbery. In Lindgren's three starts this month, he has gone 1-1-1 with a 2.93 goals-against average and a .892 save percentage. Lindgren already started against the Rangers once this season, posting a 35-save shutout in his first appearance in October."
