Logan Thompson's outstanding performance in goal led the Washington Capitals to a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, as he made 32 saves. Pierre-Luc Dubois, Dylan Strome, who scored the game-winner, and Aliaksei Protas netted for the Capitals, who now have a record of 34-11-5, tying them with the Winnipeg Jets at the top of the NHL standings. Blake Coleman scored the only goal for the Flames, who remain in the playoff hunt.

Thompson, fresh off a lucrative six-year contract extension, has been exceptional, boasting an impressive 11-0-1 record over his last dozen starts. The young goalkeeper staved off an early barrage of shots from the Flames, recording standout saves against Ryan Lomberg and Nazem Kadri. The Capitals’ win reinforces their status as a top contender in the league, while the Flames cling to their playoff position, just ahead of the Vancouver Canucks.
