2025 Fantasy Outlook
While his ratios weren't great, coming in at a 2.73 GAA and a .894 save percentage, Lindgren redeemed some fantasy value with a 20-14-3 record over 39 appearances. The netminder earned a three-year contract extension with his play, and while the job security is a good thing, the Capitals also committed to Logan Thompson for five years. This leaves Lindgren in a tandem role, and while he may push for roughly half of the playing time, he's not quite as talented as his teammate. Lindgren should get enough starts to be worth rostering in most fantasy formats, at least as a low-end No. 2 or No. 3 goalie. He's played better before as well, but it'll be tough to ask much more of him after how good the Capitals were overall in 2024-25. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Capitals in March of 2025.
Stellar in shutout win
Lindgren posted a 35-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Lindgren had little margin for error, and he performed as such in an excellent season debut. He was able to make a second-period goal by Anthony Beauvillier stand as the game-winner. The Capitals are not expected to be as predictable as last year between the pipes, when Logan Thompson and Lindgren almost always alternated starts. It's Lindgren who's slated to fade into the backup role, though he may force the team to adjust its plans if he continues to play as he did Sunday. The Capitals' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Lightning.

Lindgren had a "pinch-me, I'm dreaming" season in 2023-24 - he even got a few Vezina and Hart votes on the back of a 26-16-7 record, 2.67 GAA and .911 save percentage. He's the reason the Caps got to the postseason, but how many NHLers have their breakout season in their age-30 season? Fantasy managers want Lindgren to be real, and so do the Capitals, yet the team brought in Logan Thompson as a battery mate, and the two could end up in a straight platoon. Best-case scenario, Lindgren proves last year was real, and he starts 50 games. Worst case, he and Thompson end up in a split where the hot hand starts until he cools. Daily fantasy formats can absorb that and make it work. Weekly formats, not so much.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see fewer starts this year
Head coach Spencer Carbery indicated Friday that Lindgren could see slightly fewer opportunities during the 2025-26 regular season, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lindgren was in a timeshare with Logan Thompson for most of last season. Lindgren was relatively solid over 39 regular-season outings, going 20-14-3 with a 2.73 GAA and .894 save percentage, but Thompson put up one of the best years of his career, posting a 31-6-6 record, 2.49 GAA and .910 save percentage over 43 regular-season appearances. Carbery indicated that the Capitals "feel great" about Lindgren's abilities but said that Thompson has earned an opportunity to make a case for a starting role in 2025-26.
