Capitals' Logan Thompson: Cruises to win in Carolina
Rotowire
Thompson made 30 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Nikolaj Ehlers jammed home a rebound midway through the second period, but that was the only puck to get past Thompson on the night. The 28-year-old netminder continues to build an early Vezina case, as he has yet to allow more than three goals in a start while going 7-4-0 with a 1.56 GAA and .935 save percentage.
Thompson will defend the road net against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Thompson is coming off a 17-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay. He has a 6-4-0 record with a 1.61 GAA and a .930 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Carolina ranks third in the league with 3.87 goals per game this campaign.

The German winger is a Capitals prospect, selected in the third round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. He still needs to work on his offense, but he has coveted size that could make him a good checking winger in the long run.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Needs surgery
Rotowire
Dubois is having surgery on his abdominal and adductor muscles and will miss the next 3-4 months, the Capitals announced Sunday.
As reported, it's not a season-ending injury for Dubois, but it is still one that carries a significant recovery time of 3-4 months. The 27-year-old struggled in his six games so far this season, registering no points while averaging 15:32 of ice time per night, but the loss will still certainly be felt given his top-six status. Connor McMichael could center the second line for the foreseeable future.
