For his part, the 27-year-old Thompson is 3-1-1 with a 2.57 GAA in his last five outings and should continue to split the workload moving forward. |

Thompson will start Thursday's home game against the Avalanche, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports. - Thompson was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, but he was also late getting onto the ice and appeared to be in some discomfort.

Thompson saw his winning streak end Wednesday, but the 27-year-old has yet to take a regulation loss in 2024-25, going 7-0-1 in eight appearances with a 2.71 GAA and .906 save percentage. |

Thompson is set to start in Wednesday's home game against Toronto, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post. - Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have been in a strict rotation, but for the first time this season, that pattern will be broken with Thompson slated to start for the second consecutive game. Thompson has a 7-0-0 record, 2.55 GAA and .910 save percentage through seven appearances in 2024-25, and he's coming off an 8-1 win over St. Louis on Saturday in which he turned aside 24 of 25 shots. Lindgren hasn't been as impressive, posting a 3-4-0 record, 2.76 GAA and .897 save percentage in seven outings, so there is an opportunity here for Thompson to establish himself as the Capitals' true No. 1 netminder. Toronto will be a solid test given the Maple Leafs' respectable 9-6-2 record. However, Toronto has been a mixed bag offensively -- the squad ranks 18th with 2.94 goals per game -- and it's not clear if Auston Matthews (upper body) will be ready to return for the Maple Leafs. |

Thompson is set to start on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post. - Thompson has won all of his first six starts while posting a 2.81 GAA and a .903 save percentage. It's certainly helped that the Capitals have provided him with at least three goals worth of support in each of those outings, and Washington tallied a minimum of four markers in five of those six games. The Blues are 7-7-0 and rank 23rd offensively with 2.64 goals per game. |
None |
| Nov. 7, 2024 |
Thompson stopped 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Predators. - The former Golden Knight is a perfect 6-0-0 to begin his first campaign with the Capitals, allowing three goals or less in five of his six starts with a 2.81 GAA and .903 save percentage. The strict rotation between Thompson and Charlie Lindgren is working out great for Washington, but it's the latter that's been between the pipes for all three of the team's losses so far. |
None |

Thompson was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Nashville. - Thompson and Charlie Lindgren continue to swap starts with the duo going every other game through the first 12 contests of the season.

None |
| Nov. 2, 2024 |
Thompson is expected to guard the home net against Columbus on Saturday, per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network. - Thompson has a 4-0-0 record, but that's largely due to the offensive support he's received.

The Blue Jackets rank ninth offensively with 3.70 goals per game. |

Thompson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home divisional matchup against the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports. - Thompson will draw his first fourth start of the season as he continues to split time with Charlie Lindgren. Thompson is a perfect 3-0-0 to start the season, but he sports an .884 save percentage and a 3.28 GAA. The Capitals have scored at least four goals in each of Thompson's appearances, so the 27-year-old has been buoyed with offensive support despite his shaky play. The Rangers are scoring 4.25 goals per game across eight outings. |

Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers. - Thompson has won all three of his starts to begin the season, though he has allowed 10 goals on 86 shots. The 27-year-old has helped the Capitals to a 5-1-0 start while splitting time in the crease evenly with Charlie Lindgren.

Thompson stopped 26 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils. - This was far from Thompson's best performance, but at least he got the win to move to a 2-0-0 record. However, his 3.41 GAA and .877 save percentage are both subpar numbers compared to what he's posted over the previous two seasons in which he's made at least 35 starts, so it's safe to say the Capitals' offense has been saving him in the early stages of the season. The Capitals have rotated goalies in their first four games of the campaign, so it remains to be seen if he'll get the start for Tuesday's matchup against the Flyers in the first half of a back-to-back set against Philadelphia. |

Thompson has been traded to Washington from Las Vegas in exchange for two draft picks, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. - Washington's 2024 third-round pick and a 2025 third-rounder head to Vegas.

The former will be the Caps 'tender of the future. |

That's part of a larger hot streak in which he's posted a 2.12 GAA and a .925 save percentage over his past 13 appearances. Dallas ranked third offensively in the regular season with 3.59 goals per contest, so the Stars shouldn't be taken lightly, even after being defeated by Vegas twice. |

Thompson will guard the home goal versus the Wild on Friday. - Thompson wasn't great in his last start, surrendering four goals on 30 shots en route to a 4-3 defeat to Vancounver on Monday.

Thompson made 28 saves in a 7-2 loss to Buffalo on Saturday. - The game was tight through the mid-point of the second and then the wheels fell off completely.

Thompson needs to shake this off. He has one win in his last six starts, and along the way, he has allowed 24 goals. A reset is in order. Until then, keep Thompson on your bench. |

Thompson (illness) will back up Adin Hill in Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. - Thompson was unavailable for Monday's game versus the Wild, but the Golden Knights' extended break this week gave him plenty of time to get healthy.

Thompson is expected to start at home against LA on Thursday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Thompson will be starting for the second consecutive night after stopping 21 of 26 shots in a 5-2 loss to Anaheim on Wednesday. It's unusual for a goaltender to play in both halves of a back-to-back, but Vegas is missing Adin Hill (undisclosed), so the only alternative was starting Jiri Patera, who has a 3.98 GAA and an .897 save percentage in four outings this year. For his part, Thompson is 10-5-3 with a 2.71 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 19 contests in 2023-24.

Thompson stopped 22 of 28 shots before being replaced by Jiri Patera early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. - Three of the goals against Thompson came on Carolina power plays, and the last puck to get past him came after a giveaway in the Vegas zone gave Brady Skjei a clean look from the faceoff dot. It's been an up and down December for Thompson, and while the netminder has given up at least four goals in three of his last four outings, he also sports a 5-2-1 record in eight starts. Given his heavy recent workload while Adin Hill has battled through a lower-body injury and now an undisclosed issue that may or may not be related, it wouldn't be surprising to see Thompson give way to Patera in the crease for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay. |
