The offseason has arrived for all but a handful of teams who are still taking part in the playoffs. Accordingly, it’s now time to examine what they will need to accomplish over the coming months. Next up is a look at the Washington Capitals.
With the elimination of Team USA and Team Slovakia from the IIHF World Championship Thursday in Prague, the Washington Capitals no longer have any representation at this year’s tournament.
Washington Capitals golden goaltender Charlie Lindgren was selected to represent his country during the IIHF Men’s World Championship 2024. Initially, the goalie declined the invitation, but the Capitals announced last weekend that he would be joining the team in Prague.
The Red, White & Blue are making a late addition to their roster to fill a hole. On Saturday, USA Hockey announced that goaltender Charlie Lindgren has been added to the men’s national team roster at the IIHF Men’s World Championship.
Most of the time, when USA Hockey gives a player a call to ask them to represent their country, they jump at the opportunity. Most years, Charlie Lindgren would have accepted the offer to play in the IIHF Men's World Championships that are being held May 10-26 in Czechia.
Brothers Charlie and Ryan were rivals for a brief time in their Eastern Conference First Round matchup. After the New York Rangers swept the Washington Capitals, things are almost back to normal between them.
We move on to a fresh day of postseason action. The NHL has one more game than the NBA tonight, so why don't we just give our full attention to the ice here?
Though the New York Rangers are huge favorites to knock off the Washington Capitals in their Eastern Conference First Round series, the underdogs do have at least one thing going for them.
One of the themes of the Canadiens’ 2023-2024 season will be the three goaltenders. For the past few weeks, it’s been settled, and that’s good. Jake Allen (New Jersey) and Cayden Primeau are simply on fire, while Samuel Montembeault, even if he doesn’t win often, is playing well.
The Washington Capitals are manifesting success. Somehow.
Before their four-day break, the Calgary Flames took the ice at the Saddledome against the visiting Washington Capitals but fell 5-2. The Flames registered 36 shots on goal, but Charlie Lindgren in the Washington net kept them to two goals after the Capitals took a 3-0 lead.
Goaltender Charlie Lindgren stopped all 39 shots he faced Thursday and the visiting Washington Capitals walloped the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-0. It was Lindgren's fourth shutout of the season, the sixth of his career and his first against the Penguins.
Charlie Lindgren made 38 saves, including 15 in the third period, to help the visiting Washington Capitals beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Charlie Lindgren made 35 saves for his first shutout of the season and the Washington Capitals won their third straight game, 3-0, over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night.
It certainly wasn’t easy, but the Washington Capitals emerged with a win over the NHL’s top team on Tuesday. A first period goal by Dylan Strome gave the Capitals a highly-coveted lead over the Vegas Golden Knights, but the performance of Charlie Lindgren in net allowed the Capitals to escape with a 3-0 win.
The Capitals will be welcoming back goalie Charlie Lindgren.
The Washington Capitals placed goaltender Charlie Lindgren on injured reserve Thursday and recalled defenseman Hardy Haman Aktell from AHL affiliate Hershey.
Hardy Häman Aktell, who drew rave reviews on the Washington Capitals’ blue line throughout the preseason, has been recalled from the team’s AHL affiliate, the Capitals announced Thursday.
Whenever free agency rolls around and general managers (GMs) are forced to splash the cash on netminders, we always hear the same refrain: “goalies are voodoo.” But, considering the age of analytics and sports psychology has arrived, is that a sufficient statement anymore?
After landing goaltender Darcy Kuemper, the Washington Capitals wasted no time finding a backup.
The Seattle Kraken are in an interesting spot when it comes to their goaltending. They have two goalies locked into contracts for at least the next two years, and a prospect knocking on the door waiting for his chance.
Lindgren hasn't made an NHL start since March 2020 and before the league temporarily shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
