"Yeah, I feel like I was cursed for a while, Thompson said. I've been feeling pretty good about my game, but couldn't find a way to get a point or two points. Really happy. The guys in front of me were tremendous tonight made my life easy. Just happy to get the two points. I didn't care how many goals I let in today; I just wanted to win."
"I think I was cheating a bit on that goal, Thompson said. I don't like that goal that I gave up. That's one that I think I can make a save on. I was playing the guy back door. You look for that a lot. I thought the guys did a good job of letting me make the reads. Credit to the PK, it wasn't easy tonight."
Logan Thompson entered the game determined to secure two standings points for the Capitals after a rough stretch that included a 1-5-1 record in his previous seven starts. He delivered a 23-save performance in a 5-1 win over Chicago, saving 2.2 more goals than expected per MoneyPuck. The lone goal allowed was a power-play strike by Oliver Moore at 8:48 of the second period, and Thompson was instrumental in killing an almost two-minute five-on-three advantage. Thompson's January totals include four starts, a 1-2-1 record, 2.49 GAA and .919 save percentage, while season numbers stand at 16-12-4, 2.35 GAA, .916 save percentage and two shutouts. He was recently named to Team Canada's 2026 Olympic roster.
