"Logan's earned the opportunity to play in these games. That's as simply put as I can phrase it. He's earned the opportunity to play in as close as you're getting to do-or-die situations for our team."
"It's not ideal him playing this many games in a row. It's not ideal that Chucky hasn't played in a while. I don't like that. I know - he's an unbelievable teammate, but deep down he wants to play games."
"Thompson has been one of the Capitals' best players this season and is arguably the reason they remain, however marginally, in the playoff race."
Logan Thompson is starting his 10th consecutive game for the Washington Capitals as they pursue a playoff spot. He has played in 13 of the last 14 games, with a record of 5-2-2 during this stretch. Head coach Spencer Carbery acknowledged the heavy workload is not ideal but believes Thompson gives the team the best chance to win. Thompson has a 27-21-6 record, a .909 save percentage, and is a candidate for the Vezina Trophy, ranking third in the NHL for goals saved above expected.
