"Wilson is the Capitals' top scorer and plays at all strengths. In 38 games this season, Wilson has recorded 19 goals and 37 points, putting him on pace for a career-best 41 goals and 79 points. The Caps' alternate captain likely bolstered his case with several strong showings in front of essential figures for Hockey Canada, including general manager Doug Armstrong and head coach Jon Cooper."
"Thompson has been incredible for the Capitals in net for a second straight season, racing out as one of the frontrunners for the Vezina Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL's top goaltender. In 28 appearances this season, Thompson is 15-10-3 with a 2.33 goals-against average, a .915 save percentage, and two shutouts. According to MoneyPuck, the 28-year-old backstop is the league's top goalie in goals saved above expected (22.9)."
