Tom Wilson fought Brady Tkachuk late in the first period, scored on the power play in the second and assisted on Martin Fehervary’s goal in the third to help the Washington Capitals end their season-worst losing streak at three games by beating the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in a shootout.

Thompson turned aside 33 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 5-4 win over the Senators. The Caps grabbed a 3-0 lead early in the second period, but Thompson had to withstand a comeback by the Sens in the third period just to get the game to OT.

The Capitals now have both goaltenders locked up to new contracts this season with Monday morning's signing of Charlie Lindgren.

The Capitals are in the middle of a surprising dream season, which means the NHL Trade Deadline will be an intriguing time for them.

Thompson has lost his last two outings, surrendering five goals on 43 shots. He has a 25-4-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.27 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 34 appearances this season. Ottawa is tied for 23rd in the league with 2.80 goals per game in 2024-25.

It was his second straight loss and the first time this season he's lost consecutive outings, whether in regulation or overtime. Thompson will rebound.
