According to Sportsnet NHL insider Elliotte Freidman, the Capitals plan on keeping both of their goaltenders Charlie Lindgren and Logan Thompson for the remainder of 2024-25.

Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren (upper body) will dress as the backup on Saturday against Pittsburgh. He has missed three games due to an upper-body injury but is available for selection again.
The time to move on and sign the goalie of the future is now, but reports indicate the team won't decide until after the season ends.
