Logan Thompson News: Bounces back for first win

Thompson stopped 34 of 36 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

Thompson grabbed his first win of the 2025-26 season and kept Washington's net tidy for the first 38 minutes. The Capitals ran into penalty trouble near the end of the second period and into the third, as the only two goals that Thompson conceded were on Islanders power plays. The 28-year-old netminder has a 1-1-0 record, a 2.03 GAA and a .930 save percentage across his two starts this season. Thompson broke out with 31 wins, a 2.49 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 43 regular-season contests last season. If he can defend the crease with consistency and the Capitals experience the same success they saw a year ago, Thompson could have another top-10 fantasy season among goaltenders. However, he will likely split starts with Charlie Lindgren throughout the season, limiting Thompson's fantasy ceiling unless he can run away with the 1A starting role.
