Thompson is set to start in Tuesday's road matchup against the Oilers, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Thompson is at the top of his game in the new year, sporting a 6-0-1 record, .944 save percentage and 1.48 GAA through seven appearances in January. The 27-year-old has allowed just two goals while posting two shutouts during his current four-game winning streak. Thompson will face an Oilers team that sits seventh in the NHL with 3.28 goals per game, but they'll be without Connor McDavid, who was suspended for three games Monday.

Rotowire
Thompson made 18 saves on 19 shots during the Capitals' 4-1 win over the Penguins on Saturday.

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: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Thompson will patrol the visiting crease in Nashville on Saturday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Thompson has been outstanding this season as he has been splitting the net with Charlie Lindgren. Thompson -- who is on a five-game winning streak -- is 17-2-2 with a 2.31 GAA and a .919 save percentage. The Predators are the lowest-scoring team in the NHL, averaging only 2.44 goals in 2024-25.

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.

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.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Excellent in win
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.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Makes 20 saves in loss Tuesday
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.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Starting in Chicago
Rotowire
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.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Bags another win
Rotowire
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.

Thompson has been paying outstanding dividends for the Capitals since being acquired from the Golden Knights in an offseason trade and has now surrendered two or fewer goals in six of his last seven appearances.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Saddled with loss
Rotowire
Thompson turned aside 25 of 27 shots faced during Thursday's 2-1 home loss to the Avalanche.
Thompson put together another solid performance, but the Capitals struggled to light the lamp in their first game since losing captain Alex Ovechkin (calf) to long-term injury. The 27-year-old Thompson has put together a strong start to his first season with Washington, but he will need to get back in the win column to separate himself from Charlie Lindgren and secure the top spot on the Capitals' depth chart.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Starting against Colorado
Rotowire
Thompson will start Thursday's home game against the Avalanche, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Thompson was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, but he was also late getting onto the ice and appeared to be in some discomfort. He appeared to tweak something during Sunday's win over the Golden Knights, but he specified after Thursday's morning skate that he's "all good" and will be between the pipes against the Avalanche. Thompson has been effective over the first month and a half of the season, posting an 8-0-1 record, 2.63 GAA and .913 save percentage over nine appearances.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Excellent in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 40 of 42 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Thompson won both of his starts against his former team this year. He faced a lot of pressure in his return to Vegas but stood tall and rode an Alex Ovechkin hat trick to the win. Thompson has been right at home with the Capitals, going 8-0-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .913 save percentage over nine starts. The Capitals wrap up their current road trip in Utah on Monday, which will likely be a Charlie Lindgren start.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Slated to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Thompson is set to start in Wednesday's home game against Toronto, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have been in a strict rotation, but for the first time this season, that pattern will be broken with Thompson slated to start for the second consecutive game. Thompson has a 7-0-0 record, 2.55 GAA and .910 save percentage through seven appearances in 2024-25, and he's coming off an 8-1 win over St. Louis on Saturday in which he turned aside 24 of 25 shots. Lindgren hasn't been as impressive, posting a 3-4-0 record, 2.76 GAA and .897 save percentage in seven outings, so there is an opportunity here for Thompson to establish himself as the Capitals' true No. 1 netminder. Toronto will be a solid test given the Maple Leafs' respectable 9-6-2 record. However, Toronto has been a mixed bag offensively -- the squad ranks 18th with 2.94 goals per game -- and it's not clear if Auston Matthews (upper body) will be ready to return for the Maple Leafs.
