LOGAN THOMPSON NEWS

Fades late in OT loss Thompson made 30 saves in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact The Capitals held a 3-1 lead heading into the third period, but they got out-shot 17-7 in the final frame and Thompson eventually buckled, giving up goals to William Nylander and Mitch Marner inside the last five minutes before John Tavares beat him on a breakaway in OT. Thompson saw his winning streak end Wednesday, but the 27-year-old has yet to take a regulation loss in 2024-25, going 7-0-1 in eight appearances with a 2.71 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Slated to start Wednesday Thompson is set to start in Wednesday's home game against Toronto on Wednesday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have been in a strict rotation, but for the first time this season, that pattern will be broken with Thompson slated to start for the second consecutive game. Thompson has a 7-0-0 record, 2.55 GAA and .910 save percentage through seven appearances in 2024-25, and he's coming off an 8-1 win over St. Louis on Saturday in which he turned aside 24 of 25 shots. Lindgren hasn't been as impressive, posting a 3-4-0 record, 2.76 GAA and .897 save percentage in seven outings, so there is an opportunity here for Thompson to establish himself as the Capitals' true No. 1 netminder. Toronto will be a solid test given the Maple Leafs' respectable 9-6-2 record. However, Toronto has been a mixed bag offensively -- the squad ranks 18th with 2.94 goals per game -- and it's not clear if Auston Matthews (upper body) will be ready to return for the Maple Leafs.

Sets team record with win Thompson made 24 saves in an 8-1 win over the Blues on Saturday.

Impact Thompson is the first goalie to win his first seven starts with the Caps. He was especially good in the second period when the Capes were outshot 11-4, but he could still improve his rebound control. Still, Thompson is well-rested every time he hits the blue paint and that means he's an exceptional daily play while platooning with Darcy Kuemper.

Expected to start Saturday Thompson is set to start on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Thompson has won all of his first six starts while posting a 2.81 GAA and a .903 save percentage. It's certainly helped that the Capitals have provided him with at least three goals worth of support in each of those outings, and Washington tallied a minimum of four markers in five of those six games. The Blues are 7-7-0 and rank 23rd offensively with 2.64 goals per game.

Stays perfect Thompson stopped 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact The former Golden Knight is a perfect 6-0-0 to begin his first campaign with the Capitals, allowing three goals or less in five of his six starts with a 2.81 GAA and .903 save percentage. The strict rotation between Thompson and Charlie Lindgren is working out great for Washington, but it's the latter that's been between the pipes for all three of the team's losses so far.

Exits ice first Wednesday Thompson was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Nashville.

Impact Thompson and Charlie Lindgren continue to swap starts with the duo going every other game through the first 12 contests of the season. That trend should continue with an upcoming back-to-back, so look for Lindgren to feature against Pittsburgh at home Friday before Thompson is back between the pipes for Saturday's road clash with the Blues.

Stellar in win Thompson turned aside 34 of 36 shots faced during Saturday's 7-2 home win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Despite being staked to a 5-0 lead after the first period, Thompson had to endure an onslaught from the Blue Jackets in the final 40 minutes. The 27-year-old has a spotless 5-0-0 record in his first five games with the Capitals, but appears locked into an even rotation with Charlie Lindgren for the time being. Thompson is worth an add in deeper leagues and is one of the better spot starts in any format as long as the Capitals are flying high.

Set to start Saturday Thompson is expected to guard the home net against Columbus on Saturday, per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

Impact Thompson has a 4-0-0 record, but that's largely due to the offensive support he's received. The 27-year-old netminder has surrendered at least three goals in three of his four starts, leaving him with a 3.21 GAA and an .876 save percentage this season. The Blue Jackets rank ninth offensively with 3.70 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Not sharp in win Thompson stopped 16 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Thompson didn't play very well, but the Capitals' offense again picked him up to keep his record unblemished at 4-0-0. He's finished with a save percentage under .850 in two of his four outings, but the Capitals have scored 21 goals in his starts this season. Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have alternated in goal so far, which means Lindgren is projected to face the Canadiens on Thursday and Thompson would be lined up for the first half of a back-to-back Saturday against the Blue Jackets.

Tending twine Tuesday Thompson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home divisional matchup against the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Thompson will draw his first fourth start of the season as he continues to split time with Charlie Lindgren. Thompson is a perfect 3-0-0 to start the season, but he sports an .884 save percentage and a 3.28 GAA. The Capitals have scored at least four goals in each of Thompson's appearances, so the 27-year-old has been buoyed with offensive support despite his shaky play. The Rangers are scoring 4.25 goals per game across eight outings.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Wins third straight start Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Thompson has won all three of his starts to begin the season, though he has allowed 10 goals on 86 shots. The 27-year-old has helped the Capitals to a 5-1-0 start while splitting time in the crease evenly with Charlie Lindgren. If that arrangement continues, Lindgren lines up for a road start Saturday versus the Lightning while Thompson would be projected to face the Rangers at home Tuesday.

Tending twine Wednesday Thompson will patrol the home crease Wednesday against the Flyers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Thompson will get the second half of Washington's back-to-back after Charlie Lindgren plays Tuesday in Philadelphia. The 27-year-old Thompson has a 2-0-0 record this campaign, stopping 50 of 57 shots. As expected, Thompson and Lindgren have been sharing starts to begin the 2024-25 season.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win in high-scoring affair Thompson stopped 26 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils.

Impact This was far from Thompson's best performance, but at least he got the win to move to a 2-0-0 record. However, his 3.41 GAA and .877 save percentage are both subpar numbers compared to what he's posted over the previous two seasons in which he's made at least 35 starts, so it's safe to say the Capitals' offense has been saving him in the early stages of the season. The Capitals have rotated goalies in their first four games of the campaign, so it remains to be seen if he'll get the start for Tuesday's matchup against the Flyers in the first half of a back-to-back set against Philadelphia.
