Thompson sharp in return to Capitals, ready for Olympics with Canada | NHL.com Makes 27 saves in win against Predators after missing 4 games with injury
FEBRUARY 6 • NHL.COM
Logan Thompson - Wins in injury return Thompson (upper body) made 27 saves in a 4-2 win over Nashville on Thursday.
Impact He had missed four games with the injury. Thompson heads into representing Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games on a high with the win. He has a 19-6-4 record with two shutouts, 2.45 GAA and .912 save percentage in 39 starts this season.

Dylan Strome - Five points in last five games Strome put up two assists in a 4-2 win over the Predators on Thursday.
Impact Strome has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last five games (nine shots), and he has 14 points, including six goals, in his last 14 games (33 shots). And now that Pierre-Luc Dubois has returned after missing 47 games, Strome should feel the relief of having another big body down the middle.
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Pierre-Luc Dubois - Two points in return after 47 games Dubois (abdomen) had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 4-2 win over Nashville. He had missed 47 games.
Impact Dubois last played Oct. 31. He had surgery to address injuries to his abdominal and adductor muscles. He played 17:35 and put up two shots, one block and one hit. His goal came on the power play. Dubois is a solid waiver grab right now; he's slotted right back into his second-line center role and onto the second power-play unit.
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jakob Chychrun - Career season continues Chychrun scored two goals and an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators. He fired seven shots.
Impact Chychrun's first goal stood as the winner, and it was a beauty. He made a spin move to elude a checker at center ice, skated into the Preds' zone, cut toward the middle and fired a long-range wrist shot that got past Justus Annunen. Chychrun has put up three multi-point games in his last five outings. He has three goals, five assists and 16 shots in that span. He heads into break with 46 points, including a career high 21 goals, and 182 shots in 57 games. Chychrun is one point from equaling his NHL career high for points (47), which he set last season.
