The deal is worth $5.85 million per year, adding up to a total of $35.1 million, as per Sportsnet&rsquo;s Elliotte Friedman. This is a huge step forward for the 27-year-old goaltender, who has emerged as one of the league&rsquo;s top netminders and a potential Vezina Trophy candidate.<\/p><p>Thompson has been outstanding this season, posting a stellar .925 save percentage and 2.09 goals-against average in 27 games, along with an impressive 22-2-3 record. He has become a key player for the Capitals, even breaking the team&rsquo;s initial plan to alternate him with Charlie Lindgren in net. Earlier this month, Thompson started seven straight games, allowing just eight goals on 179 shots.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Love to see iT&#8252;&#65039;<br><br>The Washington Capitals have re-signed goaltender Logan Thompson to a six-year, $35.1 million contract extension. Thompson&rsquo;s contract will carry an average annual value of $5.85 million.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ALLCAPS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#ALLCAPS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Shift4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@Shift4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Washington Capitals (@Capitals) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Capitals\/status\/1883983464682447314?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Statistically, he&rsquo;s been one of the best goalies in the NHL this season, ranking second in goals saved above expected, just behind Vezina favorite Connor Hellebuyck. The Capitals&rsquo; decision to acquire Thompson from the Vegas Golden Knights this past summer is looking like a brilliant move, especially after trading Darcy Kuemper to the Kings in the deal for Pierre-Luc Dubois.<\/p><p>This extension will give Thompson a significant raise. He&rsquo;s currently in the final year of a three-year, $2.3 million contract he signed with Vegas in 2022. Over that time, he&rsquo;s been one of the league&rsquo;s most underpaid players, boasting a 68-29-11 record, a .915 save percentage, and five shutouts in 110 games between Vegas and Washington.<\/p><p>Although Thompson has only started more than 40 games in a season once, he&rsquo;s already proven himself to be a reliable and talented goalie. He&rsquo;s on track for another 40+ start season and has recorded three consecutive 20-win campaigns. Among goalies with more than 100 games played since the start of the 2022-23 season, Thompson&rsquo;s .915 save percentage ranks third, ahead of elite goalies like Andrei Vasilevskiy and Igor Shesterkin.<\/p><p>This deal ensures Thompson will be the backbone of the Capitals as they aim to support Alex Ovechkin&rsquo;s final years and make another push for the playoffs. The contract runs through the 2030-31 season, after which Thompson will become a free agent at age 34.<\/p><p>With this extension, the Capitals now have $69.375 million committed to 15 players for next season. Thompson&rsquo;s $5.85 million cap hit will rank 15th among NHL goalies next year, while Washington will still need to address pending free agents like Lindgren and defenseman Jakob Chychrun.<\/p><p>Image Credit: Perry Nelson-Imagn Images<\/p><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Capitals and goaltender Logan Thompson are reportedly finalizing a six-year extension, solidifying their long-term plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":16209,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2973,52,573],"class_list":["post-16208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nhl","tag-logan-thompson","tag-nhl","tag-washington-capitals"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
