The Capitals enter on Thursday as slight -101 home underdogs in a heated battle for the second Wild-Card position in the Eastern Conference against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Capitals have lost two straight but will continue to roll with Lindgren between the pipes on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres. Despite losing 3-2 in extra time, Lindgren played exceptionally in his last outing, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) against the Boston Bruins. The Capitals enter action as +118 road underdogs.

The Capitals will likely continue to roll with Lindgren between the pipes on Thursday as they push for a playoff spot. Lindgren has been tremendous lately, allowing three or fewer goals in nine of his last 10 games (8-2-0), including saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime victory against the Detroit Red Wings in his last outing.

The Capitals will turn to Lindgren for the sixth time in the last seven games in a highly contested battle for a wild-card spot against the Detroit Red Wings. After a poor performance, allowing seven goals on 29 shots (.759 SV%) in a 7-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last week, Lindgren responded with a stellar effort, saving all 27 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets for his fifth shutout of the season.

The Capitals are riding a three-game winning streak, all with Lindgren between the pipes, and will rightfully return to him for a fourth straight game on Wednesday evening. Lindgren has been sensational lately, allowing fewer than two goals in four of his last six games (5-1-0), posting an absurd .956 SV%. That said, the Capitals enter action as +120 home underdogs against a Maple Leafs club playing the tail end of a back-to-back after losing 4-3 to the Philadelphia Flyers last night.

Lindgren has been the more reliable of the Capitals goalies this season and, as such, he will start for a third straight game on Monday. The 30-year-old netminder has allowed three or fewer goals in five straight (4-1-0), posting a sensational .959 SV%. The Capitals enter action as +123 road underdogs against a Flames club that has outscored their opposition 9-3 during a two-game winning streak.

Lindgren will be back between the pipes for the Capitals on Thursday after Darcy Kuemper got the nod in Wednesday's 7-2 defeat at the hands of the Oilers. Lindgren was unable to overcome a tough assignment his last time out, allowing three goals on 29 shots as the Capitals lost 3-0 in Winnipeg on Monday. Lindgren's record sits at 15-11-2 on the season to go along with an impressive .912 SV%. He could have a hard time getting back in the win column on Thursday with the Capitals being +140 underdogs in Seattle.

Lindgren will in fact make his sixth-consecutive start on Monday despite missing the morning skate due to maintenance. He turned in a terrific performance against the Blackhawks on Saturday, allowing just one goal on 32 shots enroute to a 4-1 victory. Lindgren owns a 15-10-5 record on the season to go along with a more than respectable .912 SV%. He draws a tough assignment on Monday as the Capitals find themselves as +170 underdogs in Winnipeg.

Lindgren's record sits at 13-10-5 on the year to go along with a .906 SV% and 2.86 GAA. He draws a difficult matchup on Thursday as the Capitals find themselves as +140 underdogs in Pittsburgh.

Lindgren will get the opportunity to redeem himself after a forgettable performance in his last outing. The 30-year-old Lindgren allowed a season-worst eight goals on 31 shots (.742 SV%) in an 8-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. After a tremendous start to the season, posting a .927 SV% in his first 18 games (9-4-3), Lindgren has fallen off significantly, showcasing an awful .872 SV% in his last 10 outings (3-5-2). The Capitals enter action against the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday as slight +103 home underdogs.

Lindgren will get the crease for the second half of the Capitals' back-to-back after they were victorious on Monday over Ottawa with Darcy Kuemper between the pipes. The 30-year-old Lindgren has been the better of Washington's two goalies this season, with his 12-8-5 record, 2.64 GAA and .914 SV%. He will look to pick up Washington's fifth win in six games Tuesday as he takes on Detroit, who are on a role having won five straight and eight of their last 11.
