Washington Capitals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, $2.3 million contract extension with the Golden Knights in January of 2022.
Excellent in win
GWashington Capitals
December 22, 2024
Thompson stopped 25 of 26 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Thompson gave up a power-play goal to Kevin Fiala in the second period, but that was it. This was Thompson's fifth win over his last seven starts, and he's allowed two goals or fewer in five of those games. For the year, he's at a 13-2-2 record with a 2.40 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 17 starts. Charlie Lindgren is likely to get the start in Boston on Monday. Thompson will either go Saturday in Toronto or Sunday in Detroit, and it's likely the Capitals will continue to alternate goalies following the holiday break.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The first half of 2022-23 couldn't have gone much better for Thompson, as he was named an All-Star and looked like a finalist for the Calder Trophy before an injury-plagued second half of the campaign. He finished the year with a 21-13-3 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .915 save percentage -- perfectly fine numbers to be the Golden Knights' No. 1 goalie in 2023-24 if it weren't for Adin Hill leading Vegas to a Stanley Cup title in Thompson's absence. With Robin Lehner still a big question mark while recovering from hip surgery, Vegas' goaltending is in good hands between Thompson and Hill. Thompson may have to settle for a tandem situation, but he should still get into at least 30 games, making him a viable depth goalie in fantasy.
Thompson had appeared in just one NHL contest prior to last season, but Vegas got crushed by injuries in 2021-22, resulting in the former undrafted free agent seeing action in 19 top-level games and finishing with a 10-5-3 record, a 2.68 GAA and a .914 save percentage. It was commendable work by Thompson considering the circumstances, and the Golden Knights may very well need more of it this year. It was announced in August that Robin Lehner would undergo hip surgery and miss the entire 2022-23 season. Vegas' other goaltender, Laurent Broissoit (undisclosed), is also injured and won't be ready for Opening Night. It's Thompson's net to lose at this point. Remember him on draft day.
