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

Thompson (upper body) skated Thursday but isn't expected to dress versus the Penguins.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Spencer Carbery doesn't plan to give much in the way of injury updates during the playoffs, but he did say that Thompson will continue to practice and progress toward returning. In the meantime, Clay Stevenson is set to make his first NHL start in Pittsburgh. If Thompson isn't an option for Game 1 of Washington's first-round series against Montreal on Monday, then Charlie Lindgren will likely start in that clash.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Done for regular season?
GWashington Capitals
April 9, 2025
Head coach Spencer Carbery feels it's too early to discuss the status of Thompson, who is battling an upper-body injury, for the playoffs, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News, which might imply that a return during the regular season isn't likely.
ANALYSIS
Thompson has a 31-6-6 record, 2.49 GAA and .910 save percentage in 43 outings in 2024-25. Charlie Lindgren is expected to serve as Washington's No. 1 netminder during Thompson's absence, while Hunter Shepard is up from the minors.
