Thompson will defend the road net versus the Flames on Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Charlie Lindgren will make his second straight start when Washington visits Vancouver on Saturday. Thompson, a Calgary native, will be well-rested ahead of his homecoming outing. He has stopped 123 of 127 shots during his five-game winning streak. Thompson has a 22-2-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.09 GAA and a .925 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. Calgary has posted only 2.65 goals per game in 2024-25.
Thompson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Thompson picked up his fifth straight win despite the Oilers getting the better of the Capitals on the shot counter by a 32-14 margin. He also earned an assist on the game-winning goal, and the 27-year-old goalie was able to stay calm after Corey Perry scored the Oilers' second goal following a fan tossing nachos onto the ice. During Thompson's winning streak, he's allowed a total of five goals on 127 shots, and he's gone 10-0-1 over his last 11 outings. Overall, he's now at a 22-2-3 record with a 2.09 GAA and a .925 save percentage through 27 appearances. Thompson has started consecutive games even with Charlie Lindgren back from an upper-body injury, so it's unclear if the Capitals will go back to alternating starts or let Thompson get a bit of a run as the starter.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Notches second straight shutout
Rotowire
Thompson turned aside all 25 shots faced during Thursday's 1-0 road victory over the Senators.
Thompson has stopped 76 of 77 shots faced over his last three games - all victories. The 27-year-old is expected to start regularly with Charlie Lindgren (upper body) on the injured list so fantasy managers should make the most of the heavy workload and keep him fixed in their lineups.

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: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Thompson is slated to start in Tuesday's home matchup against the Ducks, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Thompson was stellar in his last start, turning aside 32 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over Nashville. The 27-year-old has a 3-0-1 record, .924 save percentage and 2.42 GAA through four appearances in January. Charlie Lindgren (upper body) landed on injured reserve Saturday, so Thompson will handle the bulk of the starts while the former works his way back to full health.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Sharp in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Thompson allowed a goal on 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Filip Forsberg scored on the power play in the second period, but nothing else got by Thompson. It was more impressive the 27-year-old goalie was able to play so well after playing two-plus periods in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens following an upper-body injury to Charlie Lindgren. Thompson has won six of his last seven appearances while allowing a total of 13 goals in that span. He's 18-2-3 with a 2.32 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 23 outings. Thompson has thrived in a timeshare this year, but the No. 1 job is his alone during Lindgren's absence, so fantasy managers may want to monitor how Thompson fares under a heavier workload.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Sharp in fifth straight win
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 30 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canucks.
The 27-year-old was the busier of the two netminders, as Washington was out-shot 31-18, but a Conor Garland power-play tally late in the second period was all that stood between Thompson and his first shutout of the season. Thompson has won five straight starts, and he has only one regulation loss since the beginning of December, going 7-1-1 with a 1.99 GAA and .929 save percentage over the latter stretch. The Capitals have been reluctant to deviate from a strict timeshare in the crease, but Thompson is making a strong case to claim a larger share of the workload and relegate Charlie Lindgren to a backup role.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Tending twine against Vancouver
Rotowire
Thompson was the first off the ice during Wednesday's morning skate, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports, indicating that he'll defend the home crease against the Canucks.
Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have alternated starts for most of the season, and that trend will continue Wednesday. However, Thompson is in the midst of a hot streak that could earn him some additional looks if it continues, as he's gone 4-0-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .935 save percentage over his last four starts. The Canucks have had a middling offense this year, as they're tied for 14th in the NHL with 3.05 goals per game.

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.

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.
