Capitals Down Flames 3-1, Thompson Shines Again

Logan Thompson continued his impressive performance in goal, leading the Washington Capitals to a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. Thompson made 32 saves, improving his season record to 23-2-3 and marking his sixth consecutive win. The Capitals' goals came from Pierre-Luc Dubois, Dylan Strome, and Aliaksei Protas, while Blake Coleman scored the lone goal for Calgary. Despite being outshot in the first period, Thompson's early saves helped secure the win for the Capitals, who are now tied for the top spot in the NHL standings with the Winnipeg Jets. After scoring a power-play goal to tie the game, the Flames struggled as Coleman received a penalty that led to Strome's game-winner on a two-man advantage for Washington. The Capitals now boast a strong record of 10-1-3 over their last 14 games.
