His Golden Knights will host the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday who are coming off two straight victories and will be looking to improve on their 21st-best GF/GP (3.0) across the NHL.

Lindgren will start Monday in New Jersey.
Lindgren's last start came five games ago as he lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in a 36-save (.923 SV%) losing effort. He will man the crease for a Capitals squad that has won three of their last four outings. They take on the surging New Jersey Devils, who have won three straight games while allowing an average of 1.33 GA during the wins.

Thompson led the Golden Knights onto the ice for warmups.
The Capitals signed Sonny Milano to a one-year, $750K contract.
Milano was with Calgary on a PTO in the pre-season but did not earn a contract. After signing with the Capitals, Milano went on waivers and will be assigned to Hershey (AHL) if he clears on Monday. Milano scored 14 goals with 20 assists (34 points) in 66 games with the Ducks a season ago.

Thompson was the first goalie off of the ice at the Golden Knights morning skate.
Thompson will draw his second start in as many games after beating the LA Kings in the Golden Knights season opener 4-3. Thompson will look to build off his solid performance as he stopped 27 of 30 shots (.900%) on way to the 11th win of his career.
Goalie Start
Lindgren will likely start Thursday in Toronto.
It is little surprise that Montreal's backup goalie will take the crease after Jake Allen led the Canadiens to a 4-3 victory over the Maple Leafs the night prior. The 28-year-old Lindgren returns to Montreal after 24 career games between 2015-2020 which saw him collect 10 wins on 24 starts while producing a .907 SV%. Lindgren enjoyed success in a small sample size in 2021-22, posting a .958 SV% while winning five of five starts as a member of St.Louis.
Oshie (upper-body) will play in the Capitals' season opener.
Oshie suffered an upper-body injury in last week's preseason game vs. the Red Wings but is good to go for Washington's season opener vs. the Bruins. Oshie, who is expected to skate on a line with Lars Eller and Marcus Johansson, had 11 goals and 14 assists (25 points) in 44 games last season.
Goalie Start
Thompson will start the Golden Knights' season opener in Los Angeles.
The 25-year-old rookie will get the first start of the Golden Knights 2022-23 season as he takes the crease against the Los Angeles Kings Tuesday. Thompson enjoyed a successful first taste of the NHL in 2021-22 collecting 10 wins, alongside a 2.68 GAA and a .914 SV% in 19 games played with the Golden Knights.
Dubois (lower-body) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
Dubois was nicked up late in the preseason, and the Jets were being careful with him to ensure he was ready for the start of the season. Returning as a full participant on Tuesday clears the way for him to play on Friday.
Clark underwent surgery to address a chronic condition with his left quad tendon.
The Capitals' prospect is expected to miss the first 6-8 months of the 2022-23 season. It is a tough blow for the 22-year-old right winger who was selected 47th overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. He scored eight goals and 19 points in 63 games in 2021-22 in his fourth season with the Hershey Bears of the AHL.
