Thompson stopped 24 of 25 shots in Canada's 5-1 win over Switzerland in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday.

Rotowire
Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Rotowire
Thompson stopped 32 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars, with Dallas' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The 28-year-old netminder has gone four straight starts without getting into the win column, and since a shutout of the Leafs on Dec. 18, Thompson has stumbled to a 1-5-1 record with a 3.71 GAA and .885 save percentage.
