It was reported by TSN’s Pierre Lebrun during the intermission of the Habs and Capitals match that the Washington Capitals have expressed interest in Montreal Canadiens forward Nate Thompson.
This should come as no surprise as Washington is looking to make a significant push in the post-season to contend for their second Stanley Cup in three years and will be looking to add to their depth.
Nate Thompson would add just the kind of depth a playoff team would need on their bottom-six lines. Although he cannot be relied on to score at a regular pace, Thompson currently has a faceoff percentage of 54.
