Thompson has been incredible as he continues his strong Calder campaign, amassing a 4-2-0 record to go along with his .943 SV% (5th in NHL) and 1.69 GAA (4th).

Carlson (lower-body) left Saturday's game and is questionable to play Monday.

Carlson left Saturday's game with a lower-body injury in the first period and did not return. Nick Jensen moved up to play with Martin Fehervary at 5v5, and Dmitry Orlov replaced him on the top power-play. Either the Capitals will make a call-up or Matt Irwin will replace Carlson in the lineup on Monday if he can't play.
