Concern surrounding Logan Thompson | Physical toll vs Canes | Leonard standout

Logan Thompson, a key goaltender for the Washington Capitals, has recently faced challenges as his season save percentage fell from .915 to .910. In his last two games, he struggled with performances, stopping only a portion of shots during losses to the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes. Thompson also sustained an upper-body injury against the Hurricanes, prompting coach Spencer Carbery to announce that he will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Washington. Meanwhile, backup goaltender Charlie Lindgren stepped up in a recent victory against the Bruins, and the team remains hopeful Thompson will be ready for the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Capitals' game against the Hurricanes was marked by increased tensions and on-ice confrontations, leading to a staggering total of 142 penalty minutes. Despite the team's 5-1 loss, rookie Leonard showcased his potential, earning praise from coach Carbery for his performance. Leonard recorded his first career shot on goal and logged a significant amount of ice time, demonstrating positive metrics even in defeat. As the Capitals prepare for an upcoming home game against the Chicago Blackhawks, there is renewed focus on both Thompson's recovery and Leonard's continued development.
