Capitals Lock In Goalie Logan Thompson with $35.1M Extension

The 27-year-old netminder secures a six-year deal after a standout season, solidifying his role as Washington's future in goal.

Logan Thompson has signed a six-year, $35.1 million contract extension with the Washington Capitals, carrying an average annual value of $5.85 million.
The 27-year-old goaltender has emerged as one of the NHL's top performers this season, boasting a 22-2-3 record, a 2.09 goals-against average, and a .925 save percentage in 27 appearances.
Thompson, acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights last summer for two third-round draft picks, was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the season's end.
The Capitals' front office views Thompson as a cornerstone for the team, praising his athleticism and consistency as they aim to maintain their league-leading defensive performance.
With this extension, Thompson will remain with Washington through the 2030-31 season, marking a significant raise from his previous contract with Vegas.
