Thompson is set to start in Wednesday's road preseason game against New Jersey, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson had a 25-14-5 record, 2.70 GAA and .908 save percentage in 46 regular-season contests with Vegas in 2023-24. Now with Washington after being acquired in an offseason trade, Thompson is likely to split the goaltending duties fairly evenly with Charlie Lindgren in 2024-25.
