2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a shock trade from Vegas to Washington, Thompson delivered one of the more surprisingly good seasons in goal in 2024-25. He went 31-6-6 with a 2.49 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 43 appearances, a larger part of some unexpected success for the Capitals overall. There was some doubt about how Thompson would perform outside of the Golden Knights' system, but 2024-25 proved he is a strong goalie in his own right. The one downside for fantasy managers is that there will be no easy path to a full starter's workload, as the Capitals have both Thompson and Charlie Lindgren signed to multi-year deals to operate as a tandem. Thompson is the better of the two, potentially at a level to be a low-end No. 1 option in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a six-year, $35.1 million contract with the Capitals in January of 2025.
Makes 24 saves Friday
Thompson stopped 24 of 25 shots in Canada's 5-1 win over Switzerland in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Thompson was beaten by Pius Suter in the first period, but other than that, the goaltender was solid across the board. Jordan Binnington and Darcy Kuemper are the other two netminders on the roster, and it's unclear who will get the nod for Sunday's group-stage finale against France.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
Thompson arrived in Washington over the summer after requesting a trade out of Vegas. He is seeking more playing time after splitting starts with Adin Hill in 2023-24. However, the 27-year-old Thompson will compete with last season's breakout darling, Charlie Lindgren, to be the top dog with the Capitals. Thompson has a chance to earn the gig. He has a record of 56-32-11 with four shutouts, a 2.67 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 103 career NHL appearances. He's two inches taller and 25 pounds heavier than Lindren and almost four years younger. Thompson and Lindgren will likely share starts until one of them gets hot. That works in daily formats, but it can be difficult for fantasy managers in weekly leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Has chance to start Thursday
Thompson, who has been dealing with an upper-body injury, is trending toward starting in Thursday's home clash with Nashville, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Thompson participated in Tuesday's morning skate and is expected to start in Thursday's contest after the positive step, according to head coach Spencer Carbery. Thompson has missed each of the team's last three games and, barring any setbacks, he should be able to use Thursday's start as a conditioning appearance ahead of his expected responsibilities for Canada in the 2026 Winter Olympics. If he does get the starting nod, the 28-year-old netminder would look to improve upon his 18-16-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .912 save percentage across 38 games this season.
