Per ESPN's Kevin Weekes, Washington is exploring a potential contract extension for Lindgren, which would carry an AAV in the $3.5-4 million range. Lindgren is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, as he's in the final year of the three-year, $3.3 million contract he signed to originally be Darcy Kuemper's backup in 2022.

Sportsnet: Stephen Whyno on the Washington Capitals may want to extend defenseman Jakob Chychrun before getting to pending UFA goaltenders Logan Thompson or Charlie Lindgren.

Really happy to be here for many more years to come,” Logan Thompson said. “I’ve loved my time here and just thankful for the opportunity that the Capitals gave me.”
