This Season So Far
The 2026-27 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.
Last Season
21 appearances, 9-8-3, a 3.52 goals-against average and a .8787 save percentage with 1 shutout.
His career figure across 170 games is .9019, with 82 wins.
Over his last 10 appearances, .865 on 311 shots.
The Physical Game
6-2, 190, and an orthodox positional goaltender without a standout tool. He is square, he is calm, and he does not steal games.
Rebound control is the weakest part and at 32 the lateral recovery has slowed.
The Mental Game
Undrafted out of St. Cloud State, a career backup who has twice been very good for a half-season and never for a full one.
The Intangibles
The gap in this crease is the most consequential in the league. Thompson stopped .9118 across 58 appearances; Lindgren stopped .8787 across 21.
Washington conceded 147 goals at 5-on-5 against an expected 175.9 — its goaltending finished 29 goals better than the chances it faced, the best mark in the National Hockey League — and effectively the whole of that surplus was earned by 1 man while the other gave some of it back.
The club was 49.5 per cent in expected goals. Take Thompson out of it and this is a lottery team.
He is 32, and 21 appearances at .8787 is the single largest risk on a roster built to win now.
