Logan Thompson has earned a big payday from the Washington Capitals.
A first reported by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Capitals and Thompson have agreed to a long-term contract extension.
The deal for the Capitals goaltender is for six years with an average annual value of $5.85 million.
Thompson has enjoyed a stellar season in Washington with a 22-2-3 record, a 2.09 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage.
The Capitals acquired Thompson from the Vegas Golden Knights last June for a third-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.
Thompson, who went undrafted, signed with Vegas as a free agent in July 2020 and was awarded the Aldege “Baz” Bastien Memorial Award as the AHL’s outstanding goaltender for the 2020-21. In that season, he posted a 16-6-1 record with a 1.96 goals-against average, a .943 save percentage and two shutouts in 23 games with the Henderson Silver Knights.
