Expected goals come from our own model and rate every unblocked shot he faced by its chance of going in. High-danger shots are those worth 0.15 expected goals or more. Percentiles compare him with goalies who played 600 minutes that season. xGA/60 shows how hard his workload was, so its bar is grey.

Trait percentiles vs. NHL goalies · 2025-26
Thompson's numbers show a starter who saves far more than expected, led by top-tier results at 5-on-5 and on routine shots. He is also steady night to night and strong on the penalty kill, with rebound control his only soft spot at about average.

- Quality starts in 67% of starts put consistency at the 87th percentile.
Watch-outs
- Rebound control is average at the 43rd percentile, so some second chances still follow his saves.
- High-danger save % of 0.762 is good (74th percentile), but it is his weakest strength.

Where his Game Score comes from
2026-27 · 1 GP
Season total +2.2, or +2.24 per game.
- Goaltending
- +2.2
Game Score gives credit for everything a player does in a game. Goals (1.0) and assists (0.7 primary, 0.5 secondary) count most; shots, blocks, hits, takeaways, penalties drawn, faceoff wins, killing penalties, and holding down the other team's chances add to it. Only mistakes subtract: goals against at 5-on-5, giveaways, penalties taken, faceoff losses, and allowing more chances than an average player would. A player who is there to defend or kill penalties is not marked down for not scoring. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
