Logan Thompson leans on Golden Knights past to deny Jonathan Marchessault on 2-on-0
"LT, coming back, probably as good a performance in the net as we've had all season long. I mean, he was fantastic tonight. Right from the start, made so many big saves in that game. I'll be honest with you, we weren't very good, so without that performance, we are not getting two points tonight."
"I knew Marchy was going to be cocked. Playing with him (in Vegas), it's fun to stop him, so I had a feeling they were going to go back to Marchy, and luckily it stayed out. Fun to stop that guy... But, yeah, I just had a feeling they were going to throw it back to him with him being a shooter."
"[We] are lucky to have him, man. He's unbelievable. He's been our rock now for the last year and a half. Gotta be one of the best, if not the best, goalie in the league. It's fun playing in front of him every night."
Logan Thompson returned from an upper-body injury and stopped 27 of 29 shots in a 4-2 Washington Capitals victory over the Nashville Predators, earning his 19th win. MoneyPuck credited Thompson with preventing 1.63 more goals than expected. The standout moment came on a 2-on-0 in the second period when Thompson got his glove on Jonathan Marchessault's shot at the far post. Marchessault later ended Thompson's shutout attempt by redirecting a shot with 2:20 remaining. Thompson and Marchessault were teammates on the Vegas Golden Knights from 2021 through 2024 and were part of the 2023 Stanley Cup championship.
