Logan Thompson News: Yields six goals in loss

Thompson stopped 23 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 7-3 loss to New Jersey.

Thompson allowed three goals in the first period before allowing two consecutive tallies to New Jersey's Jack Hughes later in regulation. With the loss, Thompson now holds a 27-21-6 record, a 2.53 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 54 outings this season. Thursday's loss snapped his three-game win streak and marked just his second defeat in regulation over his last nine appearances. He's appeared in every game for the Capitals in that span, and his subpar results have started to snowball, allowing four or more goals in each of his last three outings. His next chance to bounce back is in the Caps' first half of a back-to-back during Saturday's home clash with the Sabres.
