Thompson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Thompson has lost three of his last four outings, but he's gone seven games without allowing more than three goals. The 29-year-old's rough patch isn't helping the Capitals' fading playoff hopes. He's down to 22-19-4 with a 2.44 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 45 contests, one shy of his career high from 2023-24. The workload may be catching up to Thompson, but he's still providing steady ratios even if the wins don't follow. The Capitals will likely turn to Charlie Lindgren for Thursday's tough matchup in Buffalo.
Thompson is expected to start on the road against Philadelphia on Wednesday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.
Thompson has a 22-18-4 record, 2.42 GAA and .912 save percentage in 44 outings in 2025-26. He stopped 23 of 26 shots in a 7-3 victory over Calgary in his last start Monday. Thompson turned aside 23 of 24 shots en route to a 3-1 victory over the Flyers on Feb. 25, so he'll be looking for a similar result Wednesday.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Sharp in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Thompson made 23 saves in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.
The 29-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period before a Capitals turnover in their own zone led to a Noah Cates tip-in. It was still an impressive performance from Thompson after the heartbreak of Team Canada's loss to the United States in the gold medal game at the Olympics, and over 12 NHL outings since the beginning of January he's posted a 2.59 GAA and .909 save percentage, albeit with just a 5-6-1 record to show for it.
Thompson will start Wednesday's home game against the Flyers, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Although Thompson saw some playing time for Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics, he won't require additional rest time following the break in the NHL schedule and will start during the Capitals' first game back. Over his six starts leading up to the Olympic break, he went 2-4-0 with a 3.06 GAA and .892 save percentage.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Still sidelined Monday
Rotowire
Thompson (upper body) will not be in action versus the Islanders on Monday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
According to Silber, the Capitals are hoping that Thompson can suit up against the Predators on Thursday. With Clay Stevenson getting the nod at home Monday, fantasy managers should probably expect Garin Bjorklund to make his NHL debut in Tuesday's matchup against the Flyers. As such, Thompson figures to miss both ends of Washington's back-to-back.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Surrenders five goals to Kraken
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 27 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kraken.
Thompson was good in the first period, but the Kraken's pressure broke through for three goals in the second and two more in the third. The 28-year-old netminder hadn't given up five goals since he let in six versus the Rangers on Dec. 23. This was Thompson's fourth loss in his last five outings, and he's now at an 18-16-4 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 38 starts. He's well on his way to a career-high workload, and that doesn't even include potential game action at the Olympics with Team Canada. The Capitals' current road trip ends Thursday in Detroit.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: First goalie off Wednesday
Rotowire
Thompson was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Vancouver.
Thompson has struggled to enter the win column since the start of the calendar year, going 2-4-1 despite a 2.56 GAA and a .912 save percentage. Vancouver is tied for the second-fewest goals per game in the league this campaign with 2.55, which could help Thompson's cause.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Surrenders three goals in loss
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Florida's last two goals were scored into an empty net. With the loss, the 28-year-old goaltender now has a 17-14-4 record, a 2.38 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 35 games this season. Since the start of the calendar year, Thompson has been dealt a tough hand, with a 2-4-1 record despite holding a .912 save percentage. Thompson is approaching a new career high in games played, which raises questions about how he'll perform down the stretch. However, he has a steady Capitals defense in front of him, which bodes well for his fantasy value. His next chance to bounce back is Monday in Colorado, marking the start of Washington's six-game road trip.

Thompson has secured just one win in his last five outings, going 1-3-1 with a 2.80 GAA and a .908 save percentage. If the backstop can maintain those ratios, he should start racking up more victories, assuming he can get more offensive support and could challenge for the 30-win mark.
