Logan Thompson of the Washington Capitals has captured attention after being named the NHL's First Star of the Week. Taking advantage of an opportunity with starter Charlie Lindgren on injured reserve, Thompson excelled, achieving three wins while allowing only one goal on 62 shots, propelling the Capitals to the top of the NHL standings.

Thompson had impressive performances against the Anaheim Ducks and the Ottawa Senators, during which he maintained a 198-minute shutout streak, ranking it as the third-longest in franchise history.
