Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Slated to start Saturday

Lindgren will draw the home start against Ottawa on Saturday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

After opening the season with a 35-save shutout victory over the Rangers on Oct. 12, Lindgren allowed four goals on 24 shots in his next outing against Vancouver on Sunday. He'll look to rebound here against an Ottawa team that's dropped five of its last seven and remains without Brady Tkachuk (thumb). Given the matchup, Lindgren profiles as a solid spot-start option in this matchup.
