  4H ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson stopped 25 of 26 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Kings. Thompson gave up a power-play goal to Kevin Fiala in the second period, but that was it. This was Thompson's fifth win over his last seven starts, and he's allowed two goals or fewer in five of those games. For the year, he's at a 13-2-2 record with a 2.40 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 17 starts. Charlie Lindgren is likely to get the start in Boston on Monday. Thompson will either go Saturday in Toronto or Sunday in Detroit, and it's likely the Capitals will continue to alternate goalies following the holiday break.

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks. Thompson enjoyed a strong start to the game and was absolutely dominant in the first two periods, but he gave up three goals in the final frame, so he had to settle with the loss. This was Thompson's first loss in regulation since Nov. 21, but even considering this defeat, the 27-year-old has delivered decent numbers in recent weeks. Over his last six starts, Thompson has gone 4-1-1 with a 2.33 GAA and a .903 save percentage while giving up three or fewer goals five times. The Capitals seem happy splitting the workload between Thompson and Charlie Lindgren, so the latter is likely to be between the pipes for Friday's matchup against the Hurricanes.

  Thompson will protect the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Greg Boysen of CHGO Sports reports. Thompson will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Charlie Lindgren started in a 3-1 loss to the Stars on Monday. Thompson has won four of his last five starts, giving up a total of 11 goals in that span, so he's still a strong fantasy play even with the back-to-back situation factored in.

  Thompson turned aside 19 of 21 shots faced during during Saturday's 4-2 hom win over the Sabres. Thompson wasn't very busy against the struggling Sabres, but he did have to dig in following an early goal by Buffalo and performed well enough to improve to a 12-1-2 record in 15 starts. Washington seems content to stick with the even workload between the 27-year-old and Charlie Lindgren, which limits their fantasy upside even though they are automatic starts whenever they get the call.
