Capitals' Logan Thompson: Yields five goals in loss
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 22 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken.
Thompson wasn't at his best in this game, and the Kraken were able to take advantage. This led to Thompson's first loss in four outings this season. He had given up a total of six goals on 85 shots over his first three starts. The 29-year-old netminder typically is one of the better goalies in the league, so this will amount to just an off performance. He'll likely split the next two games with Charlie Lindgren, as the Capitals visit the Hurricanes on Tuesday before hosting the Canadiens on Wednesday.

Thompson will get the starting nod at home versus the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Thompson is riding a two-game win streak to start the year, registering a 2.50 GAA and .921 save percentage along the way. While the Calgary native figures to see the bulk of the workload for the Caps, he appeared in 58 regular-season games last year; the club is fully confident in Charlie Lindgren and could give him some starts outside of back-to-backs to keep Thompson rested throughout the year.

Rotowire
Thompson will get the starting nod at home against the Penguins on Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

The 29-year-old netminder was solid in that outing against the Hurricanes, stopping 31 of 33 shots (.939 save percentage) in a winning effort. After two consecutive seasons in which Thompson recorded 31 wins, he should be primed to top that number in 2026-27, especially with the two extra games.

Rotowire
Thompson recorded a 21-save shutout in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Maple Leafs.
Thompson is doing everything he can to keep the Capitals on the fringe of the playoff race. He's won five of his last six outings, though he's only had a good performance in two of those games.

The Capitals have a critical pair of games coming up over the weekend as they visit the Penguins on Saturday before hosting them in a rematch Sunday.
