Tough shootout loss Saturday Thompson turned aside 32 shots in regulation and overtime and eight of nine shootout attempts in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Washington took leads in the second and third periods, only for Charlie McAvoy to put pucks past Thompson each time to tie it up. The 29-year-old netminder then got locked in an epic shootout battle with Jeremy Swayman that was only decided when Fraser Minten beat Thompson on the backhand in the ninth round. Thompson has allowed no more than three goals in eight straight starts since the beginning of February, going 4-3-1 over that stretch with a .915 save percentage.

In goal Saturday Thompson will patrol the home crease against Boston on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Impact Thompson has one win in his last four outings (1-3-0) while allowing 11 goals on 99 shots. However, he has gone 22-19-4 this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.44 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 45 appearances. Boston sits 11th in the league with 3.29 goals per game this season.

Loses to Flyers Thompson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Thompson has lost three of his last four outings, but he's gone seven games without allowing more than three goals. The 29-year-old's rough patch isn't helping the Capitals' fading playoff hopes. He's down to 22-19-4 with a 2.44 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 45 contests, one shy of his career high from 2023-24. The workload may be catching up to Thompson, but he's still providing steady ratios even if the wins don't follow. The Capitals will likely turn to Charlie Lindgren for Thursday's tough matchup in Buffalo.

Slated starter Wednesday Thompson is expected to start on the road against Philadelphia on Wednesday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

Impact Thompson has a 22-18-4 record, 2.42 GAA and .912 save percentage in 44 outings in 2025-26. He stopped 23 of 26 shots in a 7-3 victory over Calgary in his last start Monday. Thompson turned aside 23 of 24 shots en route to a 3-1 victory over the Flyers on Feb. 25, so he'll be looking for a similar result Wednesday.

Yields three goals in win Thompson turned away 23 of 26 shots on goal in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Thompson kept the Flames off the scoreboard in both the first and third periods but ran into trouble in the second, where he allowed three goals, including a pair of shorthanded tallies. He earned the win all the same, improving to 22-18-4 on the season with a 2.42 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 44 appearances this year. With the Capitals six points out of a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, Thompson will likely be deployed often down the stretch, upholding his already strong fantasy value moving forward. If he continues to find the win column, he should be a strong candidate to be nominated for the Vezina Trophy at the end of the season.

Losing side of goalie duel Thompson made 27 saves in a 3-1 loss to Boston on Saturday. He allowed two goals.

Impact Both he and opposing netminder, Jeremy Swayman, were both perfect in the first period. Thompson stopped nine shots that frame, and Swayman turned away seven. In fact, it was a bit of duel all game long. The first goal Thompson allowed was a rebound battled out of the air during a second-period power play, and the second came on a breakaway. Don't stress too much that the John Carlson trade might affect Thompson -- the defender scored a lot, but was increasingly porous in his own zone. Use teh netminder as you normally would.

Impact The 29-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period before withstanding a furious comeback attempt from Vegas as the visitors tried to rally from a 3-0 deficit. Thompson has won three straight starts sandwiched around the Olympic break, allowing five goals on 79 shots during that span, and on the season he's 21-16-4 with what would be a career-best 2.40 GAA.

Impact The 29-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, before a Capitals turnover in their own zone led to a Noah Cates tip-in. It was still an impressive performance from Thompson after the heartbreak of Team Canada's loss to the USA in the gold medal game at the Olympics, and over 12 NHL outings since the beginning of January he's posted a 2.59 GAA and .909 save percentage, albeit with just a 5-6-1 record to show for it.
