Logan Thompson suffers upper-body injury, doubtful to return

According to sources, Washington Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson sustained an upper-body injury during the first period and is doubtful to return.

It has been a nightmare period for the Washington Capitals.

The Caps' are on the tail-end of a back-to-back, and signs of fatigue are creeping into their game.

Following Charlie Lindgren's solid performance against the Boston Bruins last night, head coach Spencer Carbery gave Logan Thompson the nod between the pipes tonight --but his night has taken a disastrous turn.

The Caps' backup goaltender struggled in the 1st period, letting in 3 goals on just 12 shots.

Although Logan Thompson struggled, his performance may have been affected by the injury, possibly playing through discomfort before being pulled after the 1st period.

While the specifics of his injury remain unclear, further details are expected to be released after the game.

Thompson's injury comes at a tough time for the Washington Capitals. With the 2025 postseason fast approaching, fans are holding their breath, hoping it's nothing too serious.

Coming into tonight's matchup, Logan Thompson boasted an impressive 31-5-6 record, posting a .912 SP (save percentage).

The Washington Capitals are now down 4-0 in the second period, but there's still plenty of time to mount a comeback.

We will keep close tabs on the situation -- hopefully, Logan Thompson is alright.

More details to follow.
