Hot Thompson helps Capitals douse the Flames 3-1
CALGARY — Logan Thompson’s remarkable run in goal continued on Tuesday as he made 32 saves to backstop the Washington Capitals to a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.
Pierre-Luc Dubois, Dylan Strome with the game-winner, and Aliaksei Protas scored for Washington (34-11-5), who are tied with the Winnipeg Jets atop the NHL’s overall standings, but hold two games in hand.
Blake Coleman had the lone goal for Calgary (24-18-7). The Flames remain one point up on the Vancouver Canucks for the second wild-card berth in the NHL’s Western Conference.
Thompson was especially sharp early as the Flames outshot the visitors 13-5 in the first period, but were turned aside time and time again by the 27-year-old goalie, who was born in Calgary. Among his stops was a pad save off Ryan Lomberg on a breakaway and a stick save off Nazem Kadri on a partial breakaway.
