Logan Thompson News

The Capitals' starting goalie will not be confirmed until warmups at 7:00 PM ET. Thompson has quietly become one of the NHL's most consistent and reliable goalies over the past several seasons, coming off consecutive 31-win campaigns. Despite some struggles at the start of the 2026-27 season, allowing three or more goals in three of his last four (1-3-0) and posting a 3.58 GAA and .880 SV%, the Capitals are eagerly awaiting Thompson's return, as he has missed the past two games.

Thompson has quietly become one of the NHL's most consistent and reliable goalies over the past several seasons, coming off consecutive 31-win campaigns. That said, the 29-year-old goalie has had some ups and downs to start the 2026-27 season and has not been as spectacular as previous seasons. Thompson has allowed three or more goals in three of his last four (1-3-0), posting a 3.58 GAA and .880 SV%. The Capitals return to action Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres and if Thompson is unable to suit up, expect Charlie Lindgren to tend the twine.

Thompson played in all of Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings, but the team said on Wednesday that he is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. The Capitals are off until Saturday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres, so Thompson has time to recover, but if he can't suit up, expect Charlie Lindgren to tend the twine.

Since joining the Washington Capitals at the start of the 2024-25 season, Thompson has been one of the NHL's most reliable goalies and will look to continue that upward trajectory in 2026-27. The 29-year-old goalie played a career-high 58 games last season (31-21-6), posting a solid 2.44 GAA and .912 SV%. With Charlie Lindgren back as his backup, expect Thompson to carry a heavy workload again this season.

Thompson stopped all 22 shots that he faced in Wednesday's 4-0 shutout win in Toronto. It was Thompson's third shutout of the season and fifth win in his last six starts--5-1-0 with a 3.31 GAA, .891 SV% and one shutout. Today he will look to win his 30th game of the season, but it will be a challenge against a Penguins team that is 5-1-0 while scoring 5.8 goals per game in their last six games.

Thompson had his first night off in nearly a month in Sunday's embarrassing 8-1 loss to the New York Rangers, but he will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. With only four games remaining in the regular season, the Capitals will need near-perfection from Thompson as they desperately try to stay in contention for a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The 29-year-old Thompson snapped a four-game streak of allowing four or more goals (3-1-0) in his most recent outing with a dazzling 37-save performance (.949 SV%) in a 6-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres. The Capitals enter Wednesday's contest as -151 road favourites against a Maple Leafs team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).
