Thompson will start in Toronto on Wednesday.

Thompson had his first night off in nearly a month in Sunday's embarrassing 8-1 loss to the New York Rangers, but he will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. With only four games remaining in the regular season, the Capitals will need near-perfection from Thompson as they desperately try to stay in contention for a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The 29-year-old Thompson snapped a four-game streak of allowing four or more goals (3-1-0) in his most recent outing with a dazzling 37-save performance (.949 SV%) in a 6-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres. The Capitals enter Wednesday's contest as -151 road favourites against a Maple Leafs team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).
