Washington Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson has emerged into one of the top players at his position during the 2024-25 NHL season.

Washington Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson was a bit preoccupied during a play in which Edmonton Oilers forward Corey Perry scored a goal in Tuesday's game. At the 4:50 mark of the second period, the Oilers were bringing the puck into the offensive zone when a tray of nachos was thrown onto the ice by a fan.

Thompson will defend the road net versus the Flames on Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

ARLINGTON, Va. – Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson has been named the NHL’s First Star for the week ending Jan. 19, the NHL announced today.

A cheesy interruption during the Capitals game in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on Tuesday night almost threatened Washington's win streak, which improved to five straight after a win over the Oilers.

Logan Thompson stopped all 19 shots he faced for his first shutout of the season to help the Washington Capitals beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-0.

Ethen Frank added his second NHL goal as Washington won consecutive games for the first time since before the Christmas break.

It wasn't the most exciting showdown between the Washington Capitals and Ottawa Senators, but instead, a goalie duel between rising starter Logan Thompson and rookie Leevi Meriläinen. Then, Alex Ovechkin did what he does best: steal the show.

Capitals goalie Logan Thompson said he was distracted by a tray of cheese-covered nachos thrown on the ice while Oilers winger Corey Perry scored on him in Edmonton on Tuesday night.

Thompson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Thompson has the fourth-highest save percentage in the NHL among goalies with at least 20 games played, and he's only lost in regulation twice for the Capitals this season.

Alex Ovechkin might get most of the media attention for this year’s Washington Capitals, but goaltender Logan Thompson is vying for his share of the spotlight.
