Logan Thompson
Logan Thompson (born February 25, 1997) is a Canadian professional
ice hockey player who is a
goaltender for the
Washington Capitals of the
National Hockey League (NHL). After playing
junior hockey in the
Western Hockey League (WHL) with the
Brandon Wheat Kings, Thompson went undrafted, and spent time in
U Sports, the
ECHL, and the
American Hockey League (AHL) before signing his first NHL contract with the
Vegas Golden Knights in 2020. After two years spent primarily with the AHL
Henderson Silver Knights, Thompson received significant playing time in the
2021–22 season due to injuries to other Vegas goaltenders, becoming the first former U Sports goaltender to start an NHL game in over 30 years. After taking over as Vegas' starting goaltender for the
2022–23 season, Thompson was named an
NHL All-Star in
2023 and won the
Stanley Cup with Vegas
the same year, despite suffering injuries late in the season. After one further season with Vegas, Thompson was traded to Washington, where he established himself as their starting goaltender and signed a six-year extension. Internationally, Thompson has represented
Canada on one occasion, winning a silver medal at the
2022 World Championship.
