Capitals' Logan Thompson: Nabs win in return to crease
Thompson made 23 saves in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Activated from a brief IR stint earlier in the day after recovering from a lower-body injury, Thompson got a cushy matchup against the NHL's 32nd-ranked offense and didn't disappoint, with the only two pucks to get past him coming on a re-directed point shot and on a Philly power play. Through eight starts this season, Thompson's gone 5-3-0 with a 2.78 GAA and .903 save percentage as the Capitals' No. 1 netminder.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Off IR, slated starter Wednesday
Thompson (lower body) is off injured reserve, per the NHL media site, and he's slated to start at home against Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Thompson was the first goaltender off the ice following Wednesday's morning skate, per Sammi Silber of The District Standard. Although the first goalie off the ice is usually a great indicator of who the starter will be, Thompson was initially listed as a game-time decision. However, now that he's off IR and third-string goalie Mitchell Gibson has been reassigned to the minors, it's fair to believe that Thompson's healthy enough to play against the Flyers. Thompson has a 4-3-0 record, 2.90 GAA and .901 save percentage in seven outings with Washington in 2026-27.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Considered game-time decision
Thompson (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's home game against the Flyers, Sammi Silber of The District Standard reports.
Thompson was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, but he remains on injured reserve due to his lower-body issue ahead of the matchup. Head coach Spencer Carbery said after morning skate that the team will see how Thompson feels Wednesday afternoon before determining his status against Philadelphia. If Thompson remains sidelined Wednesday, Charlie Lindgren or Mitchell Gibson will likely start in the crease.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Practices Monday, still day-to-day
Thompson (lower body) participated in Monday's practice and remains day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's home matchup against Philadelphia, per Sammi Silber of The District Standard.
Thompson missed Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo due to a lower-body injury, but he is making progress. He has posted a 4-3-0 record, 2.90 GAA and .901 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Thompson remains on injured reserve for now, and it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. Charlie Lindgren will handle the No. 1 role for the Capitals until Thompson is healthy, and Mitchell Gibson will serve as the backup.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: On injured reserve
Thompson (lower body) was put on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Thompson's placement on IR is presumably retroactive to Tuesday, which is when he last played. He has a 4-3-0 record, 2.90 GAA and .901 save percentage in seven appearances this campaign. Washington is likely to lean on Charlie Lindgren during Thompson's absence. Mitchell Gibson was summoned from AHL Hershey on Friday to serve as the No. 2 netminder.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Shelved for Saturday's clash
Thompson (lower body) will not play in Saturday's home clash against the Sabres, per Sammi Silber of The District Standard.
Thompson was held out of practice Wednesday after sustaining the lower-body injury. Prior to going down, the 29-year-old backstop posted a 4-3-0 record, a 2.90 GAA and a .901 save percentage across seven appearances. In his absence, the Capitals will start Charlie Lindgren and have Mitchell Gibson, who was called up from AHL Hershey on Friday, serve as the backup. Thompson's next chance to return is Wednesday's home matchup against the Flyers.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Suffers lower-body injury
Thompson won't practice Wednesday and is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury ahead of Saturday's clash with the Sabres, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Thompson's injury is relatively well-timed for fans and fantasy managers, given the team doesn't play again until Saturday. The club could even consider sitting the backstop in that contest, which would give him a full week off without missing significant starts. Thompson has been struggling of late, dropping three of his last four outings while posting a 3.58 GAA. As such, perhaps some time off wouldn't be the worst idea, even if he is cleared ahead of the matchup with Buffalo.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Yields four goals in loss
Thompson stopped 21 of 25 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
Thompson's struggles didn't persist across the entire game Tuesday, as he would've tended to a clean first two periods if not for a Kings' pair of goals across 31 seconds at the end of the opening period. With Tuesday's loss, the 29-year-old netminder now holds a 4-3-0 record, a 2.90 GAA and a .901 save percentage across seven appearances. Thompson has had an up-and-down start to the 2026-27 campaign, but the positives revolving around him outweigh the negatives. He remains a solid No. 1 goalie option in fantasy for the time being. His next chance to bounce back is Saturday's clash against the Sabres.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Tending twine Tuesday
Thompson will guard the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Kings, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Overall, the 29-year-old netminder has a 4-2-0 record, a 2.70 GAA and a .910 save percentage across six appearances. He'll hold one of the best projections ahead of Tuesday's slate against the Kings, who rank 31st with just 2.00 goals per game to begin the new season. He's a must-start in all formats for Tuesday and most games moving forward.

Thompson is 3-2-0 with a 2.84 GAA and .904 save percentage. Consider Sunday's outing as a true outlier. Thompson is a great fantasy netminder.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Facing Carolina Tuesday
Thompson will guard the home goal in Tuesday's clash against the Hurricanes, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Thompson will look to bounce back after his worst start of the season Sunday, where he yielded five goals in his lone loss of the year. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder has a 3-1-0 record, a 2.77 GAA and a .902 save percentage across four appearances to begin the new season. He'll get his second start of the season against the Hurricanes on Tuesday after stopping 31 shots against them in a 5-2 victory Oct. 2. He's a strong start in all fantasy formats moving forward.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Yields five goals in loss
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.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Tending twine Sunday
Thompson will patrol the home crease against Seattle on Sunday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: In goal against Rangers
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.

The Penguins had a couple of goals in the second period, but Thompson bounced back well in the third to preserve the lead. The 29-year-old netminder has given up five goals on 63 shots over his two outings this season, winning both of them.

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.
