Washington Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, head coach Spencer Carbery announced Thursday.
The update provides some concern for Team Canada, with Thompson set to compete for starts with Jordan Binnington and Darcy Kuemper at the Winter Olympics. The Olympic tournament is set to begin on Feb. 11, with Canada taking on Czechia in their first game one day later.
Thompson is enjoying another strong season with the Capitals, owning an 18-16-4 record with a .912 save percentage and a 2.46 goals-against average.
The 28-year-old allowed five goals on 32 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday, playing all 60 minutes.

Thompson, who was not named to Canada’s 4 Nations Face-Off roster last winter, ranks ahead of both Binnington and Kuemper statically this season. Binnington has struggled to an 8-15-6record with a .867 save percentage and a 3.59 GAA in 30 games with the St. Louis Blues. Kuemper, who was also not part of the 4 Nations team, has a 13-9-9 record with a .902 save percentage and a 2.56 GAA in 33 games with the Los Angeles Kings.
Canada has yet to make an injury replacement for the tournament. Bo Horvat, Tom Wilson and Brad Marchand have all returned to play after injury scares earlier this month, while TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston reports Tampa Bay Lightning centre Brayden Point remains on track to play at the tournament despite the fact he currently remains sidelined with a knee injury.
