Logan Thompson to Start Against Edmonton, Showcasing Strong Season Stats

Logan Thompson is expected to start at home against Edmonton on Wednesday for the Washington Capitals. The 28-year-old goaltender has posted impressive numbers in 2025, with a 1.85 GAA and a .925 save percentage, though the Capitals' offensive support has sometimes been inconsistent, leading to a 7-5-1 record. Thompson recently signed a significant six-year, $35.1 million contract with the Capitals in January 2025. In his last outing, he stopped 29 of 31 shots during a 3-2 shootout loss to New Jersey on Saturday. He will face an Edmonton team that holds a 9-8-4 record and is tied for 18th in goals per game with 3.00. Thompson is now part of a potential goaltending platoon with Charlie Lindgren in Washington.
