Lands on IR Thompson (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact After sitting out the last two games, Thompson will miss Monday's home matchup against the Islanders and Tuesday's visit to Philadelphia. However, he will be eligible to come off injured reserve if he's ready to play when the Capitals host Nashville on Thursday. Thompson has gone 18-16-4 with a 2.46 GAA, a .912 save percentage and two shutouts in 38 appearances this season. With Charlie Lindgren (lower body) also on the IR list, Clay Stevenson will start against the Islanders on Monday, and Garin Bjorklund might make his NHL debut against the Flyers on Tuesday.

Still sidelined Monday Thompson (upper body) will not be in action versus the Islanders on Monday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact According to Silber, the Caps are hoping that Thompson can suit up against the Predators on Thursday. With Clay Stevenson getting the nod at home Monday, fantasy managers should probably expect Garin Bjorklund to make his NHL debut in Tuesday's matchup with the Flyers. As such, Thompson figures to miss both ends of Washington's back-to-back.

Won't play Saturday Thompson (upper body) is unavailable for Saturday's home game against Carolina.

Impact Washington is also missing Charlie Lindgren (lower body). Clay Stevenson will start Saturday, while Garin Bjorklund will serve as the backup netminder. Thompson has an 18-16-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .912 save percentage in 38 outings in 2025-26. His next opportunity to play will come Monday at home against the Islanders.

Dealing with upper-body injury Head coach Spencer Carbery said Thursday that Thompson is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Thompson was hit in the mask by a shot during Tuesday's game against Seattle, and he'll at least be unavailable for one matchup. It seems likely that Charlie Lindgren will handle goaltending duties on the road against Detroit on Thursday, while Clay Stevenson was recalled from AHL Hershey to provide additional depth.

Surrenders five goals to Kraken Thompson stopped 27 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Thompson was good in the first period, but the Kraken's pressure broke through for three goals in the second and two more in the third. The 28-year-old netminder hadn't given up five goals since he let in six versus the Rangers on Dec. 23. This was Thompson's fourth loss in his last five outings, and he's now at an 18-16-4 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 38 starts. He's well on his way to a career-high workload, and that doesn't even include potential game action at the Olympics with Team Canada. The Capitals' current road trip ends Thursday in Detroit.

Tending twine Tuesday Thompson will guard the road goal versus the Kraken on Tuesday, per Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site.

Impact Thompson is slated to get the nod after going 1-1-0 with five goals allowed on 51 shots over his first two starts during this road trip. He'll face a Kraken team that is 2-4-0 with 18 goals scored over the last six games.

Excellent in win Friday Thompson stopped 25 of 26 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Thompson bounced back after three straight losses, and this was the first time he allowed just one goal or fewer since doing so in a win over the Blackhawks on Jan. 9. Thompson has been a bit inconsistent on a game-to-game basis, though, but his peripheral stats have looked better than this win-loss record. He's lost six of his nine starts in January, going 3-5-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage. As such, fantasy managers should continue to trust Thompson, who seems to have established himself as the Capitals' No. 1 goaltender ahead of Charlie Lindgren.

Protecting net in Calgary Thompson will guard the road goal versus the Flames on Friday, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation reports.

Impact Thompson will get the start in his hometown on the front end of a back-to-back. He's looking to end a three-game losing streak, a span in which he's allowed 10 goals on 80 shots. The Flames have won three of their last six games, scoring 14 goals in that span.

Tough loss in Vancouver Thompson allowed four goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Considering the opponent, this wasn't a great loss to take for Thompson. It's worse than it looks as well, as the Capitals scored the first two goals of the game before the Canucks worked their way back into it. Thompson has lost three straight games, surrendering 10 goals on 80 shots in that span. He's down to a 17-15-4 record with a 2.43 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 36 starts. The Capitals have a back-to-back up next, visiting the Flames on Friday and the Oilers on Saturday, so look for Thompson and Charlie Lindgren to split those games.

First goalie off Wednesday Thompson was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Vancouver.

Impact Thompson has struggled to enter the win column since the start of the calendar year, going 2-4-1 with a 2.56 GAA and .912 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Canucks, who are scoring 2.55 goals per game this season, which is tied for the second-worst mark in the league.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Surrenders three times in loss Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Despite the Panthers tallying five goals in Saturday's contest, Thompson allowed just three, with the final pair occurring against an empty net. With the loss, the 28-year-old goaltender now has a 17-14-4 record, a 2.38 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 35 games this season. Since the start of the calendar year, he has been dealt a tough hand to have a 2-4-1 record despite holding a .912 save percentage. Thompson is approaching a new career high in games played, which raises questions about how he'll perform down the stretch. However, he has a steady Capitals defense in front of him, and his strong play is bound to lead him to the win column soon, which bodes well for his fantasy value. His next chance to bounce back is Monday in Colorado, marking the start of Washington's six-game road trip.
