One risk with Desmith is that Demko was expected to miss 2-3 weeks. March 25 is the start of the 3rd week, so it’s possible Demko comes back at some point this week. I haven’t seen any updates since that was announced on March 11 though.
As much as I don’t like the matchups, Lindgren is probably the first guy you start since the Caps are somehow still in the playoff hunt. That may be enough incentive to keep them playing hard. Not sure if you need to start 1 or 2 guys, but from there it’s either roll the dice that DeSmith plays all week or take Jarry, who has the next most favorable matchups.
