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

Thompson made 17 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Lightning on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Jake Guentzel beat him five-hole on a one-timer from the right hash marks in the first. And Brayden Point tipped a Victor Hedman point shot on the power play early in the third to push the Bolts out in front, as least temporarily. In three starts this season, Thompson has put up two wins and is riding a 2.01 GAA and .921 save percentage. He's allowed exactly two goals in all three games played.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
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.
The first half of 2022-23 couldn't have gone much better for Thompson, as he was named an All-Star and looked like a finalist for the Calder Trophy before an injury-plagued second half of the campaign. He finished the year with a 21-13-3 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .915 save percentage -- perfectly fine numbers to be the Golden Knights' No. 1 goalie in 2023-24 if it weren't for Adin Hill leading Vegas to a Stanley Cup title in Thompson's absence. With Robin Lehner still a big question mark while recovering from hip surgery, Vegas' goaltending is in good hands between Thompson and Hill. Thompson may have to settle for a tandem situation, but he should still get into at least 30 games, making him a viable depth goalie in fantasy.
Thompson had appeared in just one NHL contest prior to last season, but Vegas got crushed by injuries in 2021-22, resulting in the former undrafted free agent seeing action in 19 top-level games and finishing with a 10-5-3 record, a 2.68 GAA and a .914 save percentage. It was commendable work by Thompson considering the circumstances, and the Golden Knights may very well need more of it this year. It was announced in August that Robin Lehner would undergo hip surgery and miss the entire 2022-23 season. Vegas' other goaltender, Laurent Broissoit (undisclosed), is also injured and won't be ready for Opening Night. It's Thompson's net to lose at this point. Remember him on draft day.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see more starts
GWashington Capitals
October 3, 2025
Thompson may find himself with a heavier workload this season after head coach Spencer Carbery told reporters Friday, "Logan with the year that he had has earned an opportunity to get a good crack at being our starting goalie but also we feel great about Chuckie as well," per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
ANALYSIS
It certainly sounds like the Caps aren't planning to go back to the full goalie rotation they deployed last season, which means Thompson could top the 50-game mark for the first time in his career. Despite being limited to just 43 regular-season appearances last year, the 28-year-old backstop still managed to rack up 31 wins while posting a career-best 2.49 GAA. If Thompson's performance slips early in 2025-26, fantasy players can probably expect Carbery to return to his goalie split share despite this vote of confidence.
