Logan Thompson hit a career milestone Dec. 31, when he was named to Team Canada for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
The Washington Capitals goalie could be on the path to another major career moment when the Vezina Trophy is awarded. Thompson is the choice to win it at the halfway point of the season, according to NHL.com. He received seven first-place votes and 63 voting points from the 16-person panel.
Scott Wedgewood of the Colorado Avalanche was second with 57 points (seven first-place votes). Rounding out the top five were Jake Oettinger of the Dallas Stars with 33 points (one first-place vote), Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Tampa Bay Lightning (22) and Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers (20, one first-place vote).
Thompson is 15-11-4 with a 2.37 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and two shutouts in 30 games. He is tied for second in save percentage, tied for fourth in GAA, and tied for third in even-strength save percentage (.925) among goalies to play at least 20 games.
Those numbers are what helped earn him a trip to Italy for the Olympics next month.
