After a brief blip in an otherwise outstanding season, posting a 3.34 GAA and .898 SV% during a four-game losing streak (0-3-1), Thompson seems to have rebounded and returned to elite form, winning two straight while posting a terrific 1.51 GAA and .939 SV%. The 28-year-old Thompson returns to the crease on Thursday, looking to build on his 2.34 GAA and .916 SV% through 33 games (17-12-4). The Capitals enter Thursday's contest as -170 home favorites against a San Jose Sharks team coming off an embarrassing 7-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
