Charlie Lindgren will be sporting a new look during the 2025-26 season.
On Thursday, Lindgren hit the ice in a fresh set of pads for the Capitals’ informal skate at MedStar Capitals Iceplex. The design largely matches his previous gear setup but adds more red, swapping it in for the white region on the bottom of his pads and adding a red stripe to the zigzags in the middle.
The Capitals will commemorate Lindgren’s zigzag pads this season as part of their in-arena promotional schedule, giving away oven mitts with his and goaltending partner Logan Thompson’s gear designs on them to all fans in attendance on November 26 against the Winnipeg Jets.
Per an image shared by the Capitals, the oven mitt appears to use Lindgren’s previous color scheme.
Lindgren has used some version of the zigzag pattern on his pads since the early days of his NHL career, changing the colors of the design to match his current team.
After joining the Capitals in 2022, he first wore a version with white on top and navy on the bottom before swapping the colors for the 2023-24 season. He also debuted a black, blue, and gold version last season to match the Capitals’ Screaming Eagle jerseys, including three white stars in the center of the zigzag.
Lindgren and his teammates will wrap up informal skates next week before the on-ice start of training camp on Thursday, September 18.
