Washington Capitals extend Logan Thompson on six-year, $35.1 million deal
The Washington Capitals and goaltender Logan Thompson have come to an agreement on a six-year, $35.1 million contract extension with a cap hit of $5.85 million.
Thompson, 27, is playing out the final season of a three-year, $2.3 million contract and was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
The 6-foot-4 netminder is a Vezina Trophy candidate this season with a 22-2-3 record with a .925 save percentage and 2.09 goals against average.
Thompson was acquired by the Capitals last summer from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for two draft picks. He has helped the Capitals to a 33-11-5 record for the best record in the NHL entering Monday’s action.
Originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Golden Knights in 2020, Thompson has a career 78-34-14 record with a 2.55 GAA and .915 save percentage split between the Golden Knights and Capitals.
Thompson helped lead the Golden Knights to their first Stanley Cup in franchise history in 2023, going 21-13-3 with a 2.65 GAA and .915 save percentage in the regular season before going down with an injury prior to the playoffs.
The Calgary native represented Canada at the 2022 World Championship where he went 3-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .881 save percentage in a silver-medal finish.
The Washington Capitals have locked in their goaltending future by signing Logan Thompson to a six-year, $35.1 million contract extension. The 25-year-old netminder has been a standout performer for the team since making his debut last season, posting a .920 save percentage and 2.30 goals against average.
Thompson’s stellar play has earned him the trust of the Capitals’ coaching staff and front office, who see him as a key piece of their long-term plans. This extension solidifies Thompson as the team’s goaltender of the future, providing stability between the pipes for years to come.
With Thompson’s contract in place, the Capitals can now focus on building a strong team around him, aiming to compete for the Stanley Cup in the seasons ahead. Fans can look forward to seeing Thompson continue to shine in the crease and lead the team to success. Congratulations to Logan Thompson on his well-deserved extension! #AllCaps #LoganThompson #ContractExtension
