Thompson turned aside 29 of 33 shots in Saturday's 7-4 home win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't the prettiest performance, but Thompson has won his last four starts and is up to a sterling 16-2-2 record in 20 appearances thus far in the 2024-25 season. Due to Washington's goalie rotation, Charlie Lindgren will probably get the call for Tuesday's road showdown against Buffalo.

Thompson will patrol the home blue paint versus the Rangers on Saturday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is on a three-game winning streak, allowing four goals on 90 shots (.956 save percentage). Thompson has outperformed platoon partner Charlie Lindgren this season, going 15-2-2 with a 2.30 GAA and a .918 save percentage. The Rangers have earned 2.78 goals per game in 2024-25.

Thompson turned aside 27 of 27 shots faced during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson got beat by a Justin Brazeau tap-in goal following a bizarre carom that saw the puck drop right in front of the net in the opening minutes of the first period, but he turned in another solid performance the rest of the way. The only thing standing in the way of the 27-year-old from the top echelon of fantasy netminders is the presence of Charlie Lindgren which allows the Capitals to stick to a rigid rotation, but Thompson should be considered an automatic start whenever it is his turn to guard the crease.

Thompson will serve as the starting netminder for Tuesday's home game against the Bruins, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have alternated starts recently, and that trend will continue Tuesday. Thompson has been productive in his recent outings, going 4-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and a .924 save percentage across his last five starts. Boston is averaging just 2.66 goals per game this season, which is the seventh-worst mark in the league, so Thompson will have a favorable matchup Tuesday.

Thompson turned aside 35 of 37 shots faced during Saturday's 5-2 road win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson had to make some spectacular saves as the Maple Leafs mounted a push in the third period. The 27-year-old has allowed two or fewer goals in nine of his last 10 starts and now sports a 14-2-2 record in 18 appearances to start the 2024-25 season. Charlie Lindgren is expected to get the start for Sunday's matinee against the Red Wings.

Thompson will be between the visiting pipes in Toronto on Saturday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has been sensational for the Capitals this season, going 13-2-2 with a 2.40 GAA and a .914 save percentage. He is on track for his best season in the NHL, as he was 25-14-5 last season with Vegas. The Maple Leafs are averaging 3.14 goals per game in 2024-25, after a 5-2 win in Detroit on Friday.

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

EDGE Analysis

Thompson gave up a power-play goal to Kevin Fiala in the second period, but that was it. This was Thompson's fifth win over his last seven starts, and he's allowed two goals or fewer in five of those games. For the year, he's at a 13-2-2 record with a 2.40 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 17 starts. Charlie Lindgren is likely to get the start in Boston on Monday. Thompson will either go Saturday in Toronto or Sunday in Detroit, and it's likely the Capitals will continue to alternate goalies following the holiday break.

Thompson will guard the home net Sunday against the Kings, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson's been solid while splitting starting duties with Charlie Lindgren this year, going 12-2-2 with a .911 save percentage and 2.48 GAA. He'll face a Kings team that's averaging 3.12 goals per game this season.

Thompson stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson enjoyed a strong start to the game and was absolutely dominant in the first two periods, but he gave up three goals in the final frame, so he had to settle with the loss. This was Thompson's first loss in regulation since Nov. 21, but even considering this defeat, the 27-year-old has delivered decent numbers in recent weeks. Over his last six starts, Thompson has gone 4-1-1 with a 2.33 GAA and a .903 save percentage while giving up three or fewer goals five times. The Capitals seem happy splitting the workload between Thompson and Charlie Lindgren, so the latter is likely to be between the pipes for Friday's matchup against the Hurricanes.

Thompson will protect the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Greg Boysen of CHGO Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Charlie Lindgren started in a 3-1 loss to the Stars on Monday. Thompson has won four of his last five starts, giving up a total of 11 goals in that span, so he's still a strong fantasy play even with the back-to-back situation factored in.
