Capitals sign goaltender Charlie Lindgren to a 3-year, $9 million extension
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Capitals have shored up their goaltending tandem for the next few seasons by signing Charlie Lindgren to a three-year extension worth $9 million.
General manager Chris Patrick announced the move Monday, with the Capitals atop the Eastern Conference with roughly a quarter of the regular season left to play.
Lindrgen’s deal comes five weeks since they signed fellow netminder Logan Thompson to a six-year deal worth $35.1 million.
“Since joining our organization in 2022, Charlie has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and reliability in net with his athleticism and drive,” Patrick said in a statement. “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.”
