In a battle against one of the top clubs in the NHL this season, the Flames fell 3-1 to the visiting Washington Capitals Tuesday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome in a spirited affair.

Logan Thompson will be playing in his hometown after signing a six-year extension, as the Washington Capitals try to get back in the win column as their road trip continues against the Calgary Flames,

Logan Thompson made 32 saves, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Dylan Strome and Aliaksei Protas scored goals, and the Washington Capitals beat the Calgary Flames 3-1.

Alex Ovechkin scored at 3:07 of overtime to lift the visiting Washington Capitals over the Ottawa Senators 1-0 on Thursday night. Ovechkin took a pass from Rasmus Sandin on the rush and beat Leevi Merilainen from the left circle for his 874th NHL goal.

A day after signing a six-year extension, Logan Thompson made 32 saves in his hometown as the Capitals bounced back from Saturday’s loss at Vancouver.

Vancouver Canucks are nowhere near as exciting, promising or entertaining as the 2023-2024 rendition of the team. Not even just by the eye test, but the numbers compared to last season don’t even resemble the same team.

The Columbus Blue Jackets' top trade chip this NHL trade deadline is their defenseman Ivan Provorov. Teams will be calling about him.

The Capitals aren't making any changes after a perfect 3-0 win over the Seattle Kraken back on Thursday. Charlie Lindgren will make his second consecutive start, while Logan Thompson will get the net back in his hometown of Calgary on Tuesday. Here are the combinations:

The van Riemsdyk/Chychrun duo gets a lot of offensive zone starts and deployment, largely because of Chychrun’s value as an offensive weapon; with 13 goals and 31 points this season, he is five goals and 10 points shy of matching his single-season career bests in those categories.

The Capitals will have one big lineup change, as Charlie Lindgren will return to the crease in his first appearance since being injured on Jan. 10. Logan Thompson has started the last five games, putting up impressive numbers to boot.

The Calgary native has a .924 save percentage and a 2.68 goals against average against the #Flames in five career starts. He jacks that sv% up to .948 when he’s playing at the Dome. https://t.co/asaYSvPmOu

A rebuild in the NHL can be a grueling process. With the patience needed to develop prospects, and decide whether to add or subtract to the team and what each offseason has to offer, there aren’t many situations for a team to be in that are more stressful than this.
