• Capitals' Logan Thompson: Fades late in OT loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

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

• Capitals' Logan Thompson: Slated to start Wednesday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

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

• Capitals' Logan Thompson: Sets team record with win

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson made 24 saves in an 8-1 win over the Blues on Saturday. Thompson is the first goalie to win his first seven starts with the Caps. He was excellent in the second period when Washington was 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 Charlie Lindgren.

• Capitals' Logan Thompson: Expected to start Saturday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

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

• Capitals' Logan Thompson: Stays perfect

  9D ago • By RotoWire

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