Logan Thompson, a key goaltender for the Washington Capitals, has recently faced challenges as his season save percentage fell from .915 to .910. In his last two games, he struggled with performances, stopping only a portion of shots during losses to the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes. Thompson also sustained an upper-body injury against the Hurricanes, prompting coach Spencer Carbery to announce that he will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Washington. Meanwhile, backup goaltender Charlie Lindgren stepped up in a recent victory against the Bruins, and the team remains hopeful Thompson will be ready for the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Capitals’ game against the Hurricanes was marked by increased tensions and on-ice confrontations, leading to a staggering total of 142 penalty minutes. Despite the team’s 5-1 loss, rookie Leonard showcased his potential, earning praise from coach Carbery for his performance. Leonard recorded his first career shot on goal and logged a significant amount of ice time, demonstrating positive metrics even in defeat. As the Capitals prepare for an upcoming home game against the Chicago Blackhawks, there is renewed focus on both Thompson’s recovery and Leonard’s continued development.

He's playing like crap
Panic Time!!!
I think everyone is so focused on Ovi it’s distracting rest of the team. After he breaks the record hopefully they get back to normal
Questionable Logan Thompson plays?
Sounds about right. Just look at his performance in Vegas last year. Good regular season performance while Adin Hill was injured but then started to falter in the playoffs and lost 3 in a row (2 at home) to blow a 2-0 lead on some really stupid plays.
He's a great goalie, still wish we had him in Vegas. His performance in Washington has been a shocker but I knew eventually he would fall back to earth. I do wanna see a VGK WSH Cup Final to see Hill vs Thompson.
