The Story in 60 Seconds

Washington Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson showed signs of nearing a return by leading Wednesday's optional morning skate ahead of their game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Thompson was the first goalie off the ice, though head coach Spencer Carbery noted the team will evaluate how he feels before making a final starting decision.
