capitals 3, flames 1

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, 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. 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.
