Capitals' Logan Thompson: Beaten twice Tuesday
Thompson stopped 24 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Blues. The third goal was an empty-netter in the final minute of the third period.
Thompson did everything he could to keep the Capitals in the game, but the offense wasn't at its best and couldn't score on Joel Hofer, who had a 21-save shutout. Thompson has dropped his last two games, but he remains a solid contributor in fantasy. He has yet to allow more than three goals in a game since returning from the Olympics, going 5-4-2 with a 2.10 GAA and an impressive .923 save percentage over that span.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Patrolling road paint
Thompson will start Tuesday's road clash against the Blues, per Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site.
Thompson will look to stay hot against the Blues, who enter Tuesday's contest equally scorching. Over his past 11 appearances, Thompson hasn't allowed more than three goals in a game while posting a 6-3-2 record, a 2.09 GAA and a .924 save percentage. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder has a 24-19-6 record, a 2.38 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 49 outings this season. Despite the difficult matchup, his strong resume makes him a good option in most fantasy formats for Tuesday and beyond.

Frank (lower body) is day-to-day and won't play against St. Louis on Tuesday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Capitals' Dylan Strome: Picks up power-play assist
Strome logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Strome continues to be snakebit for scoring -- he has gone 15 games without a goal. In that span, he has six helpers and 22 shots on net, a level of production that has seen him occasionally slip off the first line. Strome is at 51 points (19 on the power play), 130 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 69 appearances. Barring a late surge, he could miss the 60-point mark for the first time in his four years with the Capitals.

Capitals' Justin Sourdif: Pots goal Sunday
Sourdif scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Sourdif snapped a five-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old is currently in a third-line role, though he was also in the power-play mix Sunday, which hasn't always been the case this season. Sourdif is up to 14 goals, 30 points, 97 shots on net, 89 hits, 37 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 67 appearances as a rookie.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Pots 1,000th career goal
Ovechkin scored a power-play tally in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
The goal, which tied the game at 2-2 late in the third period, was Ovechkin's 26th of the season and the 1,000th of his Hall of Fame career between the regular season and the playoffs. Wayne Gretzky, with 1,016, is the only other player in league history to reach four digits. The Capitals are currently six points out of a wild-card spot with 11 games left on their schedule, giving Ovechkin little hope of catching The Great One in that particular category if he doesn't return for one more season in 2026-27.

Capitals' Logan Thompson: Fades late in OT loss
Thompson stopped 21 of 24 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
The 29-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Thompson squandered it by giving the puck away behind his own net to set up a Gabriel Landeskog tally just 65 seconds into the third, sparking a Colorado comeback. Thompson has just one regulation loss in his last six starts, going 3-1-2 with a 2.14 GAA and .924 save percentage during that span.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Leaves Sunday early
Frank (lower body) left Sunday's game against the Avalanche in the first period and won't return.
The injury occurred after Frank collided hard into the post while driving to the net in the first period. The 28-year-old has 24 points (12 goals, 12 assists) in 59 games on the season. It remains to be seen if he'll be forced to miss more time than the rest of Sunday. If he doesn't suit up Tuesday against the Blues, it would be his first absence from the lineup since November.

Overall, the 29-year-old is 24-19-5 with a 2.36 GAA and a .915 save percentage. He'll face a tough test Sunday against Colorado's league-best offense.

Thompson made 30 saves in Friday's 2-1 win over the Devils.
The 29-year-old netminder nearly came away with his third shutout of the season, but Jesper Bratt finally got a puck past him inside the final minute of the third period with New Jersey's net empty.
