Charlie Lindgren, the goaltender for the Washington Capitals, will miss at least a week due to an upper-body injury. His absence is a significant blow to the Capitals, who rely heavily on Lindgren's performance in the net. This injury raises questions about the team's depth and who will step up in his absence.

The Capitals have shown resilience this season, but Lindgren's stellar play has been a key factor in their recent successes. Managing to keep the team competitive in tough matchups, Lindgren's skill will be sorely missed as they aim for crucial wins in the upcoming games.

With the Capitals facing a challenging stretch in the schedule, the coaching staff will need to adjust the lineup to compensate for Lindgren's absence. Other goaltenders will need to rise to the occasion, and it will be interesting to see how the team responds during this crucial time of the season. Capitals fans will be hoping for a swift recovery so Lindgren can return to help secure vital points in their quest for the playoffs.
