Thompson allowed a goal on 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators. Filip Forsberg scored on the power play in the second period, but nothing else got by Thompson.

Thompson turned aside all 19 shots faced during Tuesday's 3-0 home win over the Ducks Thompson recorded his first shutout of the season and now stands at 19-2-3 through just 24 starts in his inaugural campaign with the Capitals.
