Thompson turned aside 34 of 36 shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being staked to a 5-0 lead after the first period, Thompson had to endure an onslaught of 31 shots from the Blue Jackets in the final 40 minutes. The 27-year-old has a spotless 5-0-0 record in his first five games with the Capitals, but he has been locked into a starting rotation with Charlie Lindgren. Thompson is worth an add in deeper leagues and is one of the better spot starts in any format during Washigton's hot start to 2024-25.

Thompson is expected to guard the home net against Columbus on Saturday, per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has a 4-0-0 record, but that's largely due to the offensive support he's received. The 27-year-old netminder has surrendered at least three goals in three of his four starts, leaving him with a 3.21 GAA and an .876 save percentage this season. The Blue Jackets rank ninth offensively with 3.70 goals per game.

Thompson stopped 16 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson didn't play very well, but the Capitals' offense again picked him up to keep his record unblemished at 4-0-0. He's finished with a save percentage under .850 in two of his four outings, but the Capitals have scored 21 goals in his starts this season. Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have alternated in goal so far, which means Lindgren is projected to face the Canadiens on Thursday and Thompson would be lined up for the first half of a back-to-back Saturday against the Blue Jackets.

Thompson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home divisional matchup against the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will draw his fourth start of the season as he continues to split time with Charlie Lindgren. Thompson is a perfect 3-0-0 to start the season, but he sports an .884 save percentage and a 3.28 GAA. The Capitals have scored at least four goals in each of Thompson's appearances, so the 27-year-old has been buoyed with offensive support. The Rangers are scoring 4.25 goals per game across eight outings.

Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has won all three of his starts to begin the season, though he has allowed 10 goals on 86 shots. The 27-year-old has helped the Capitals to a 5-1-0 start while splitting time in the crease evenly with Charlie Lindgren. If that arrangement continues, Lindgren lines up for a road start Saturday versus the Lightning while Thompson would be projected to face the Rangers at home Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will get the second half of Washington's back-to-back after Charlie Lindgren plays Tuesday in Philadelphia. The 27-year-old Thompson has a 2-0-0 record this campaign, stopping 50 of 57 shots. As expected, Thompson and Lindgren have been sharing starts to begin the 2024-25 season.

Thompson stopped 26 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

This was far from Thompson's best performance, but at least he got the win to move to a 2-0-0 record. However, his 3.41 GAA and .877 save percentage are both subpar numbers compared to what he's posted over the previous two seasons in which he's made at least 35 starts, so it's safe to say the Capitals' offense has been saving him in the early stages of the season. The Capitals have rotated goalies in their first four games of the campaign, and Thompson will almost certainly split starts with Charlie Lindgren in a Tuesday-Wednesday home-and-home set against the Flyers.

Thompson was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post, indicating that he will defend the road net against the Devils.
