The Capitals have locked up their goaltending duo for years to come.
The team announced Monday morning that it has come to terms with Charlie Lindgren on a three-year, $9 million contract extension, keeping the 31-year-old in Washington at $3 million per year.
“Since joining our organization in 2022, Charlie has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and reliability in net with his athleticism and drive," Capitals GM Chris Patrick said in a press release. "With both goalies under contract for the next three seasons, we expect this tandem to provide our club stability at a crucial position and push one another to compete and play at a high level.”
Earlier this year, the Caps signed Logan Thompson to a six-year contract for $35.1 million, meaning first-place Washington has its goaltender tandem secured for the near future.
Lindgren has a record of 13-10-3 with a 2.70 goals-against average, an .898 save percentage and one shutout in 27 games with the Capitals during the 2024-25 campaign. Across three seasons in DC, he has seven shutouts and a .904 save percentage while allowing 2.78 goals per game. He led the league with six shutouts last season.
