"Lindgren has been back on the ice at MedStar Capitals Iceplex for the past few days, starting with a short skate on Wednesday. The 31-year-old netminder has not played since he made 23 saves in a 7-1 win against the San Jose Sharks last week. In nine appearances this season, Lindgren is 5-3-1 with a 2.90 goals-against average, a .893 save percentage, and one shutout. According to MoneyPuck, he has saved 6.7 more goals than expected, which ranks 25th best among all NHL goalies."
"While Lindgren did skate on Friday morning, the Capitals practiced without Martin Fehervary, John Carlson, and Alex Ovechkin. The team announced that all three were taking maintenance days after playing the Hurricanes the night before. Fehervary did briefly head down the locker room tunnel after a hit from Andrei Svechnikov during Thursday night's loss. He ultimately returned and finished with 16:31 of ice time."
Charlie Lindgren has resumed skating and will travel with the team for the upcoming two-game road trip against the Winnipeg Jets and Minnesota Wild. He missed three games with an upper-body injury and was placed on injured reserve last weekend. The Capitals will not activate him until he is 1,000 percent sure to play. Lindgren last played in a 7-1 win over the San Jose Sharks, making 23 saves. He is 5-3-1 with a 2.90 goals-against average, a .893 save percentage, one shutout, and has saved 6.7 more goals than expected per MoneyPuck. Garin Bjorklund remains up as a backup from the AHL, and Martin Fehervary, John Carlson, and Alex Ovechkin took maintenance days after the recent game; Fehervary briefly left after a hit but returned to finish 16:31 of ice time.
