"Lindgren, who traveled with the team north of the border, has not played since he made 23 saves in a 7-1 win against the San Jose Sharks on December 3. He missed the next three games due to an upper-body injury and was placed on injured reserve last weekend. Carbery said during practice on Friday that Lindgren was trending in the right direction and the team wouldn't "activate him until we're 1,000 percent sure" he's fully healthy."
"Bjorklund, 23, has a record of 4-4-1 with a 3.01 goals-against average, a .895 save percentage and one shutout in nine games played with Hershey this season. Bjorklund posted a 21-4-3 record with a 2.02 goals-against average, a .927 save percentage and one shutout in 29 games with the South Carolina Stingrays (ECHL) in 2024-25. The 6'2", 195-pound goaltender ranked second in the ECHL in goals-against average and third in save percentage,"
Charlie Lindgren was activated from injured reserve and will serve as the backup to Logan Thompson for the Capitals' game against the Winnipeg Jets. Lindgren traveled with the team and last played on December 3, making 23 saves in a 7-1 win over the San Jose Sharks. He missed three games with an upper-body injury before being placed on IR, and coach Carbery said the team would not activate him until fully healthy. Lindgren is 5-3-1 with a 2.90 goals-against average, a .893 save percentage and one shutout, and has saved 6.7 more goals than expected according to MoneyPuck. Garin Bjorklund was loaned to the Hershey Bears after strong ECHL numbers and a 4-4-1 record with Hershey this season.
