Briefly

The Washington Capitals are facing uncertainty in goal after Logan Thompson was injured in Game 3. His status for the upcoming match is unclear, forcing the team to consider Charlie Lindgren as a potential starter. Head coach Spencer Carbery expressed confidence in Lindgren's abilities, emphasizing a 'next man up' philosophy. Lindgren has proven himself in the past, having transitioned from backup to starter this season. He remains optimistic and ready to seize the opportunity, reflecting on his preparedness and dedication.
Lindgren has played a variety of roles since joining the Capitals organization in 2022: he was the team's backup in 2022-23 before a strong performance in 2023-24 saw him promoted to starter.
Carbery, who leaned on Lindgren for much of the regular season, expressed full faith in his ability to step up if needed.
I always feel ready. Every day, I've kept on working to get to moments like this, to potentially playing moments like this.
It'll be next man up for us. And we know Chucky Lindgren, and he's done a great job. He's a great goaltender.
