Lindgren will defend the cage on the road versus Utah on Monday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Lindgren takes the second game of the Caps' back-to-back after Logan Thompson started versus Vegas on Sunday. It's been a middling start to the campaign for the 30-year-old Lindgren, as he is 4-4-0 with a 2.66 GAA and .897 save percentage through eight appearances. Meanwhile, Thompson is undefeated in regulation, going 8-0-1 in nine contests. While the duo have been splitting the workload, Lindgren could be in danger of conceding more starts to Thompson as the season progresses.
Fehervary recorded an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Fehervary helped out on Alex Ovechkin's empty-netter to secure a hat trick in the final minute of the game. The assist was Fehervary's third point over the last six games. The 25-year-old blueliner doesn't often put up offense at that rate, instead focusing more on the defensive side of the game. He's at four helpers, 11 shots on net, 42 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 17 contests overall.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Puts up assist
Rotowire
Roy logged an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Roy has three helpers over six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. That accounts for all of his offense through seven appearances this year. The 29-year-old defenseman usually puts up fine depth offense from the blue line, but he's been a little lacking in the physical stats with 12 hits and 10 blocked shots so far.

Sandin kept the streak alive with a secondary helper on Jakub Vrana's second-period goal, which was the game-winner. Overall, Sandin has three goals, seven helpers, a plus-13 rating, 18 shots on net, 20 hits and 36 blocked shots through 17 contests.

Carlson has four helpers over his last four games, including two on the power play. He's also gone plus-4 with eight blocked shots and 12 shots on net in that span. The 34-year-old blueliner is showing no signs of slowing down in 2024-25, racking up 13 points (five on the power play), 41 shots, 28 blocks, 18 hits and a plus-13 rating through 17 appearances in his usual top-pairing role.

Protas registered two assists and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Protas had helpers on Jakub Vrana's goal in the second period, which was the game-winner, and Alex Ovechkin's empty-netter in the third. This was Protas' fifth multi-point effort, all of which have come since Oct. 29. The 23-year-old forward is up to six goals, 11 assists, 27 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 17 outings this season. He's looking steady in a top-line role at even strength and should have no problem earning a career year.

Capitals' Jakub Vrana: Scores again in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Vrana scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Vrana's tally was the game-winner, his first such goal this season. It came at 2:49 of the second period, and was his second goal in as many games. The 28-year-old winger is up to four tallies, three assists, 18 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across 14 contests. He may not be in the lineup every game and is often limited to bottom-six minutes when he plays, so Vrana doesn't have much fantasy value. Vrana surpassed his point total from 2023-24 (six in 21 games) with Sunday's goal.

Rotowire
Chychrun scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Chychrun's tally from the point gave the Capitals a 2-0 lead at 12:26 of the first period. The 26-year-old defenseman has scored in back-to-back games and has four points over four outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. He hasn't missed a beat and looks sharp in a top-four role. Chychrun has five goals, three assists, 21 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 11 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 12 appearances, offering decent category coverage in fantasy.

He's scored five times and added two assists over his last four games. For the season, Ovechkin is at 13 goals, 10 helpers, 60 shots on net, 43 hits, six PIM and a plus-13 rating over 17 contests. He is now 28 goals away from tying Wayne Gretzky for the all-time record.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Excellent in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 40 of 42 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Thompson won both of his starts against his former team this year. He faced a lot of pressure in his return to Vegas but stood tall and rode an Alex Ovechkin hat trick to the win. Thompson has been right at home with the Capitals, going 8-0-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .913 save percentage over nine starts. The Capitals wrap up their current road trip in Utah on Monday, which will likely be a Charlie Lindgren start.

Sandin was able to close out the scoring with three seconds left in the game. The defenseman is on a roll with three goals and an assist over his last four contests. The 24-year-old is out of the power-play mix with Jakob Chychrun healthy again, but Sandin is still seeing top-four minutes, which allows him to make an impact at even strength. For the season, the Swedish blueliner has nine points, 18 shots on net, 20 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 16 appearances.

The left-shot center is on his way to surpassing the 40 points he produced over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. Overall, the Quebec native has chipped in 11 points (one goal) through 16 games. Dubois is in a three-way tie with Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson for second on the club in assists behind Dylan Strome (19).
