Thompson stopped 25 of 26 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson bounced back after three straight losses, allowing one goal or fewer for the first time since Jan. 8 against the Blackhawks. He's lost six of his nine starts in January, going 3-5-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage. He has been dealing with consistency issues following an excellent start to the season.

Thompson will guard the road goal versus the Flames on Friday, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will get the start in his hometown on the front end of a back-to-back. He's looking to end a three-game losing streak, a span in which he's allowed 10 goals on 80 shots. The Flames have won three of their last six games, scoring 14 goals in that span.

Thompson allowed four goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the opponent, this wasn't a great loss to take for Thompson. It's worse than it looks as well, as the Capitals scored the first two goals of the game before the Canucks worked their way back into it. Thompson has lost three straight games, surrendering 10 goals on 80 shots in that span. He's down to a 17-15-4 record with a 2.43 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 36 starts. The Capitals have a back-to-back up next, visiting the Flames on Friday and the Oilers on Saturday, so look for Thompson and Charlie Lindgren to split those games.

Thompson was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Florida's last two goals were scored into an empty net. With the loss, the 28-year-old goaltender now has a 17-14-4 record, a 2.38 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 35 games this season. Since the start of the calendar year, Thompson has been dealt a tough hand, with a 2-4-1 record despite holding a .912 save percentage. Thompson is approaching a new career high in games played, which raises questions about how he'll perform down the stretch. However, he has a steady Capitals defense in front of him, which bodes well for his fantasy value. His next chance to bounce back is Monday in Colorado, marking the start of Washington's six-game road trip.

Since Christmas, Thompson is 3-4-1 in eight starts. He has allowed 22 goals in that span. Still, he remains one of the NHL's best with a 2.36 GAA and .915 save percentage in 34 starts (17-13-4).

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has secured just one win in his last five outings, going 1-3-1 with a 2.80 GAA and a .908 save percentage. If the backstop can maintain those ratios, he should start racking up more victories, assuming he can get more offensive support and could challenge for the 30-win mark.
