Thompson sits just one victory away from his first career 30-win campaign.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Allows four goals in win
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 25 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.
The teams traded goals at a high rate in the first and third periods, and the Capitals came away with just enough more on offense to give Thompson his third straight win. He's allowed 10 goals in that span, and he's given up three or more tallies in seven of his nine outings since the start of February. That slip in performance hasn't hurt his record (28-4-5), but his GAA is up to 2.36 with a .916 save percentage over 37 appearances. The Capitals will likely continue alternating starts between Thompson and Charlie Lindgren -- look for Lindgren to play Thursday against the Kings while Thompson is tentatively on track for a Saturday matinee start in San Jose.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Hangs on for shootout win
Rotowire
Thompson turned aside 33 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 5-4 win over the Senators.
The Caps grabbed a 3-0 lead early in the second period, but Thompson had to withstand a comeback by the Sens in the third period just to get the game to OT. The 28-year-old netminder came up big in the shootout though, shutting down Drake Batherson, Tim Stutzle and Claude Giroux to secure the victory. Thompson has seen the bulk of the work in the Washington crease since the beginning of February, starting seven of 10 games, but his 3-2-2 record, 3.39 GAA and .881 save percentage over that stretch would seem to indicate the door is open for Charlie Lindgren to push his way back into a timeshare.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Thompson will defend the home cage against the Flames on Tuesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Thompson has been seeing a heavy workload since the start of February, playing two of every three games for the Caps. If that trend continues, the 28-year-old netminder figures to be back in the crease against the Blues at home Thursday before Charlie Lindgren gets the nod at home versus Tampa Bay on Saturday. For his part, Thompson is undefeated in regulation since Dec. 17 versus the Blackhawks, going 13-0-3 over his last 16 starts while registering a 2.02 GAA and two shutouts.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Drops result in shootout
Rotowire
Thompson allowed four goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to Utah.
Thompson still hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 17 -- he's 12-0-3 over his last 15 games. Sunday was just the fifth time in that span he's allowed three or more goals, though he was strong when needed in the third period to help the Capitals snag a standings point. Thompson enters the 4 Nations Face-Off break at 24-2-5 with a 2.23 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 31 games. Despite his strong play, he was left off of Team Canada's roster, so the 27-year-old netminder will have two weeks to rest before a Feb. 22 game in Pittsburgh.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Defeats hometown team
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 32 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Thompson has rattled off wins in six straight games and 11 straight starts -- his lone defeat in that span was an overtime loss in relief of Charlie Lindgren versus the Canadiens on Jan. 10. Thompson has allowed just five goals over his last six games, a span that includes his two shutouts so far this season. He's now 23-2-3 with a 2.05 GAA and a .927 save percentage over 28 appearances. The Capitals' next game is Thursday in Ottawa, but it's not yet clear if they'll double up starts for Thompson after doing the same for Lindgren to allow Thompson to start in his hometown Tuesday. In any case, Thompson has proven himself a quality option in fantasy whenever he's between the pipes.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Blanks Ducks
Rotowire
Thompson turned aside all 19 shots faced during Tuesday's 3-0 home win over the Ducks.
Thompson recorded his first shutout of the season and now stands at 19-2-3 through just 24 starts in his inaugural campaign with the Capitals. Only an evenly split workload with Charlie Lindgren (upper body) has hindered Thompson's breakout, but Thompson is expected to get the bulk of the starts with the latter now on the injured list.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Wins fourth straight
Rotowire
Thompson turned aside 29 of 33 shots in Saturday's 7-4 home win over the Rangers.
It wasn't the prettiest performance, but Thompson has won his last four starts and is up to a sterling 16-2-2 record in 20 appearances thus far in the 2024-25 season. Due to Washington's goalie rotation, Charlie Lindgren will probably get the call for Monday's road showdown against Buffalo.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Wins third straight
Rotowire
Thompson turned aside 26 of 27 shots faced during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
Thompson got beat by a Justin Brazeau tap-in goal following a bizarre carom that saw the puck drop right in front of the net in the opening minutes of the first period, but he turned in another solid performance the rest of the way. The only thing standing in the way of the 27-year-old from the top echelon of fantasy netminders is the presence of Charlie Lindgren, which allows the Capitals to stick to a rigid rotation. Still, Thompson should be considered an automatic start whenever it is his turn to guard the crease.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Draws start against Boston
Rotowire
Thompson will serve as the starting netminder for Tuesday's home game against the Bruins, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have alternated starts recently, and that trend will continue Tuesday. Thompson has been productive in his recent outings, going 4-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and a .924 save percentage across his last five starts. Boston is averaging just 2.66 goals per game this season, which is the seventh-worst mark in the league, so Thompson will have a favorable matchup Tuesday.
