Logan Thompson News: Can't hold late lead Monday

Thompson turned aside 24 of 28 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The Capitals grabbed a 3-2 lead early in the third period, but Thompson couldn't make it stick. The 28-year-old netminder has lost three of his last four starts, and through 10 outings in December, he's managed a 4-4-2 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .914 save percentage.
