2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a shock trade from Vegas to Washington, Thompson delivered one of the more surprisingly good seasons in goal in 2024-25. He went 31-6-6 with a 2.49 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 43 appearances, a larger part of some unexpected success for the Capitals overall. There was some doubt about how Thompson would perform outside of the Golden Knights' system, but 2024-25 proved he is a strong goalie in his own right. The one downside for fantasy managers is that there will be no easy path to a full starter's workload, as the Capitals have both Thompson and Charlie Lindgren signed to multi-year deals to operate as a tandem. Thompson is the better of the two, potentially at a level to be a low-end No. 1 option in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a six-year, $35.1 million contract with the Capitals in January of 2025.
Can't deliver miracle for team
Thompson made 18 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5 on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Thompson was brilliant early when he made a lunging save with 36 seconds left in the first to preserve the tie, but he should've stopped the eventual game winner. Andrei Svechnikov somehow put the puck in from below the right circle with 1:59 remaining. "It's my job to find the lane and get my eyes on it, and he sifted it through. It was a terrible goal to give up to end a season, and I've got to wear that," said Thompson after the game, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. "I'm an adult. That's on me, and I can be better." Thompson finished the postseason with a 5-5 record, 2.41 GAA and .917 save percentage in 10 starts.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
Thompson arrived in Washington over the summer after requesting a trade out of Vegas. He is seeking more playing time after splitting starts with Adin Hill in 2023-24. However, the 27-year-old Thompson will compete with last season's breakout darling, Charlie Lindgren, to be the top dog with the Capitals. Thompson has a chance to earn the gig. He has a record of 56-32-11 with four shutouts, a 2.67 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 103 career NHL appearances. He's two inches taller and 25 pounds heavier than Lindren and almost four years younger. Thompson and Lindgren will likely share starts until one of them gets hot. That works in daily formats, but it can be difficult for fantasy managers in weekly leagues.
