    • Falls short in Game 4
      Lindgren allowed three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 4. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Lindgren went 0-4 in the playoffs, ending the Capitals' postseason run in the first round. He allowed 14 goals on 103 shots during those four contests, putting a sour taste on an otherwise solid campaign that saw him post a 25-16-7 record, a 2.67 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 50 regular-season appearances. Lindgren is under contract for one more season, so he should have at least a timeshare role on lock for 2024-25. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:30 pm
       
    • Completes sweep of Capitals
      Shesterkin stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.

      Advice: Shesterkin had no problem guiding the Rangers to a first-round sweep over the Capitals, allowing just seven goals during the series. He's won six straight games dating back to the regular season. Shesterkin will now get a little time to recharge as the Rangers await their second-round opponent, which will be either the Hurricanes or the Islanders. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:03 pm
       
    • Tending twine Sunday
      Shesterkin will get the starting nod for Game 4 in Washington on Sunday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: Shesterkin has led the Rangers to a dominant 3-0 series lead as they look for a sweep Sunday. He's stopped 70 of 75 shots, including a 28-save win in Game 3. Shesterkin is 7-2-0 with a terrific 2.00 GAA and .921 save percentage in nine games this month. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:36 pm
       
    • First off ahead of Game 4
      Lindgren was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease Sunday in Game 4 versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Lindgren has lost three straight outings in the postseason, surrendering 11 goals on 81 shots for an .864 save percentage. The Capitals need a victory in Game 4 to avoid being swept in the first round by the Rangers. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:54 am
       
    • Gets little help in Game 3 loss
      Lindgren stopped 19 shots Friday during a 3-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 3 of the Capitals' first-round series.

      Advice: John Carlson opened the scoring with a somewhat fluky goal early in the first period, but Lindgren gave up the lead less than a minute later when Chris Kreider tipped home a long-range shot, and the Rangers never looked back. The 30-year-old netminder has given up 11 goals on 81 shots through three playoff games, and while that shaky save percentage isn't entirely his fault, Lindgren's still begun the playoffs with three straight losses, leaving Washington on the brink of elimination.

    • Sharp in Game 3 win
      Shesterkin made 28 saves Friday during a 3-1 win over the Capitals in Game 3 of the Rangers' first-round series.

      Advice: John Carlson beat Shesterkin from the blue line with a knuckleball shot less than six minutes into the first period, but it only got the Rangers netminder mad, and he shut the door on Washington the rest of the way. Shesterkin has allowed only five goals on 75 shots while going 3-0 to begin the Rangers' postseason run, and they'll look for the sweep Sunday in Game 4. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:53 am
       
    • Slated to face Capitals
      Shesterkin is slated to start on the road against Washington in Game 3 on Friday, according to Seth Orlemann of USA Today.

      Advice: Shesterkin won the first two contests of the series while stopping 42 of 46 shots (.913 save percentage). The Capitals ranked 28th offensively with just 2.63 goals per game in the regular season, so it's not surprising that they haven't given Shesterkin much trouble in the first round. That said, the series moving to Washington might help the Capitals, who were 22-12-7 at home compared to 18-19-4 on the road during the 2023-24 campaign. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:10 am
       
    • Facing Rangers
      Lindgren was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post, putting him on track to start between the home pipes Friday for Game 3 versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Lindgren allowed four goals in each of his two playoff games versus the Rangers. The two losses snapped a three-game winning streak Lindgren had at the end of the regular season, during which he gave up only three goals on 78 shots. The Rangers will enter Friday's contest with a 2-0 series lead. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:52 am
       
    • Hangs on for Game 2 win
      Shesterkin stopped 22 shots Tuesday during a 4-3 win over the Capitals in Game 2 of the Rangers' first-round series Tuesday.

      Advice: The Caps only beat Shesterkin at even strength once on the night, as their last two tallies came on power plays. The 28-year-old netminder has allowed four goals on 46 shots to help the Rangers build a 2-0 series lead, and dating back to late March he hasn't given up more than three goals in any of his last nine starts, posting a 2.09 GAA and .921 save percentage over that stretch. Shesterkin will look to stay locked in as the series shifts to Washington for Game 3 on Friday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:10 am
