Tomas Vokoun was lit up in defeat on Saturday. Vokoun and the Capitals fell to the Islanders 5-3. He allowed four goals on 35 shots total. Vokoun has been in a bit of a funk, perhaps looking over his shoulder and seeing Michal Neuvirth. His record dipped to 7-2-0 on the season.

Tomas Vokoun allowed four goals on 15 shots, but earned a victory in Washington's 5-4 win over Anaheim Tuesday. After hitting the showers early on in Saturday's game against the Canucks, Vokoun struggled mightily again in this game as the Caps fell behind by a score of 3-0. From that point forward, Vokoun was rarely tested, but he luckily got credit for a win thanks to his teammates bailing him out and staging a comeback. It's been a rough few days for Vokoun, but we think he's a top-3 option in fantasy leagues thanks to the situation surrounding him.

Tomas Vokoun was pulled after the first period of Saturday night's 7-4 loss to Vancouver. He allowed four goals on 17 shots and did not look good in the process. There is a strong chance that Michal Neuvirth, who relieved Vokoun against the Canucks, will get the start Tuesday against the Ducks.

Tomas Vokoun turned aside 17 of 19 shots in a 2-1 loss Thursday. It was Vokoun and the Capitals' first loss of the season. He's gone six straight games without allowing three or more goals. Michal Neuvirth, when healthy, will steal some playing time from Vokoun, but Vokoun should still end up playing between the pipes in the majority of the Capitals' contests.

Tomas Vokoun will start for Washington on Thursday against Edmonton. "Yeah, [Coach Bruce Boudreau] told me I'm playing," Vokoun said after practice on Wednesday. "You wait for the net and when you got it, you prepare. Obviously you prepare if you play or don't, but it's nice to know a couple days ahead." He has opened the season with six straight wins for the Capitals, while earning a .944 save percentage and a 1.80 GAA along the way.

Tomas Vokoun has been selected as the NHL's third star of the week. Vokoun allowed just three goals in three games last week to extend his winning streak to six contests. Vokoun didn't play in the season opener, but a lower body injury to Michal Neuvirth has allowed Vokoun to start in every game since. At this point, Vokoun has established himself as the clear number one goaltender.

Tomas Vokoun improved to a perfect 5-0-0 Thursday as he stopped 42 shots in a 5-2 victory over the Flyers. So much for the opening night goalie "controversy". For the first time since the days of Olaf Kolzig, Washington will boast an established true number-one goalie. Year in, year out, Vokoun has posted great numbers on an offensively anemic Panthers team and didn't often get the credit that he deserved, mostly because of where he played, but all that will change now in Washington. Playing for the cup contending Capitals, Vokoun should have a sub 2.50 goals-against average to go along with a save percentage that will rank in the top-tier of the league. He should be able to resgister 40 wins.
