GM 2 WSH LEADS 1-0

Exits ice first Wednesday Thompson was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating he'll be in the crease at home for Game 2 against the Habs.

Impact Thompson was stellar in Game 1, stopping 33 of 35 shots (.943 save percentage) in a 3-2 victory over the Habs. While Washington split the crease for much of the season this year, it seems Thompson will get an extended run as the No. 1 option ahead of Charlie Lindgren in the postseason.

Collects Game 1 win in OT Thompson stopped 33 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens in Game 1 of their first-round series.

Impact The 28-year-old netminder returned from an upper-body injury that had sidelined him since April 2 and blanked Montreal through the first two periods, only for the Habs to strike twice in the third to force OT. Thompson was still rewarded for his efforts when Alex Ovechkin potted the winner. A healthy Thompson will be crucial to the Capitals' chances of advancing after he posted a 31-6-6 record with a 2.49 GAA and .910 save percentage during the regular season. He should be back between the pipes for Game 2 on Wednesday.

Set to start in Game 1 Thompson (upper body) will the patrol the home blue paint Monday versus the Canadiens in Game 1, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Impact This will be Thompson's first start since April 2 -- he missed the last seven games of the regular season due to his upper-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old had lost his last three outings, which followed up a six-game winning streak. He's appeared in just four postseason contests in his career, owning a 2-2-0 record, .921 save percentage and 2.35 GAA.

Not expected to dress Thursday Thompson (upper body) skated Thursday but isn't expected to dress versus the Penguins.

Impact Head coach Spencer Carbery doesn't plan to give much in the way of injury updates during the playoffs, but he did say that Thompson will continue to practice and progress toward returning. In the meantime, Clay Stevenson is set to make his first NHL start in Pittsburgh. If Thompson isn't an option for Game 1 of Washington's first-round series against Montreal on Monday, then Charlie Lindgren will likely start in that clash.

APRIL 4 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Facing short-term absence Thompson (upper body) is expected to "miss a little bit of time," Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Friday.

Impact Thompson is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he posted a 5.58 GAA, .780 save percentage and 0-2-1 record. With Thompson sidelined in the short-term, the Caps recalled Hunter Shepard from the minors while Charlie Lindgren sees the bulk of the workload.

Capitals goalie Logan Thompson leaves game at Hurricanes because of injury. He'll be reevaluated

Logan Thompson left the Washington Capitals' game at the Carolina Hurricanes after the first period with what the team called an upper-body injury

APRIL 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hurt in Wednesday's game Thompson (upper body) is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game versus the Hurricanes.

Impact Thompson was tagged for three goals on 12 shots in the first period before exiting the contest. It's possible the Capitals are taking a cautious approach here since they entered Wednesday 11 points clear of every other team in the Eastern Conference. More information on Thompson's status should be known prior to Friday's game versus the Blackhawks. Charlie Lindgren took over in goal and will likely see a starter's workload should Thompson miss additional time.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Poised to start Wednesday Thompson is slated to guard the cage on the road against Carolina on Wednesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Thompson will be looking to rebound from his previous tilt in which he gave up seven goals on 22 shots (.682 save percentage) in a defeat to the Sabres. That disastrous outing notwithstanding, it's been a solid year for Thompson, as he has set new personal bests in wins (31) and GAA (2.43) -- though he continues to split the workload with Charlie Lindgren.

Surrenders seven goals Sunday Thompson saved 15 of 22 shots on net in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Sunday's performance is one that Thompson will quickly want to put behind him ahead of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the Sabres put the puck past him three times in both the second and third periods. With the loss, the 28-year-old netminder has a 31-5-6 record with a 2.43 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 42 appearances this season. Sunday's performance was only Thompson's second regulation loss in March and he remains a top option in all fantasy formats when he does play. As the Capitals move closer to locking up the top seed in the Eastern Conference, however, Thompson might see additional games of rest before the postseason. Because of this, it is best to have additional netminders in fantasy to deploy on Thompson's off days.

Impact Thompson had his five-game winning streak snapped in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg. He has a 31-4-6 record with two shutouts, a 2.32 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 41 appearances this season. Buffalo is tied for 10th in the league with 3.17 goals per game and lost 7-4 to Philadelphia on Saturday.
