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.

Impact 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.

Yields four goals in loss Thompson stopped 21 of 25 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact 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.

Facing Carolina Tuesday Thompson will guard the home goal in Tuesday's clash against the Hurricanes, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Impact 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.

Yields five goals in loss Thompson stopped 22 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken.

Impact 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.

In goal against Rangers Thompson will get the starting nod at home versus the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact 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.

Allows three goals in win Thompson stopped 27 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact 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. Thompson is likely to maintain the starter role for the Capitals, and if the team performs up to expectations, he should rack up plenty of wins. The Capitals' next game is at home versus the Rangers on Friday.

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

Impact Thompson has made just one appearance so far this season because the Capitals started the campaign off with a back-to-back. 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.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Stellar in season opener Thompson turned aside 31 of 33 shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Thompson shined during the Capitals' Opening Night matchup, as he allowed just one even-strength goal and one at a man disadvantage. The 29-year-old backstop entered the season with a lot of momentum from 2025-26, where he posted a 31-21-6 record, a 2.44 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 58 regular-season outings. Back by an improved forward group and a solid defensive core, Thompson is positioned well to post elite numbers once again in the 2026-27 campaign, making him a strong No. 1 goalie option to have rostered in fantasy moving forward.
