Tom Wilson 'honored' to be on Logan Thompson's new mask but his swollen face 'wouldn't have been my first choice of picture'

""Hahahaha you're too much @loganthompson48," Wilson commented on a Capitals' Instagram post."

""@tomwilson you made it," replied Thompson."

""It's an honor tho," Wilson added. "Wouldn't have been my first choice of picture.""

Logan Thompson's new goalie mask honors multiple Washington Capitals figures with portraits of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Peter Bondra, Olie Kolzig, Braden Holtby, and John Carlson. Tom Wilson receives a dedicated spot on the back plate that features a photograph of his grotesquely swollen face after taking a Jakob Chychrun shot. Thompson selected the image as a prank reflecting an ongoing playful dynamic between the two players. The pair traded banter publicly, including Instagram interactions where Wilson laughed, Thompson confirmed Wilson "made it," and Wilson called the recognition an honor while noting he would not have chosen that photo. Both players have six years remaining on their Capitals contracts.
