Overview

  • Head coach Spencer Carbery said Thompson is day-to-day with an upper-body injury following Washington’s loss to Seattle.
  • Thompson was struck in the mask by a Vince Dunn slap shot, had his helmet knocked off, was briefly checked by the trainer, and finished the game after allowing five goals on 32 shots.
  • Washington recalled Clay Stevenson from AHL Hershey, and he will serve as the backup while Charlie Lindgren starts.
  • Thompson has started 38 games this season with an 18-16-4 record, a 2.46 goals-against average, a .912 save percentage, and two shutouts for a team currently outside a wild-card spot.
  • The timeline for his return is unclear, and his recent selection to Canada’s Olympic roster adds urgency with the NHL break beginning after Feb. 5 and Canada opening play on Feb. 12.
