""Logan's earned the opportunity to be our number one guy and start on opening night," Carbery said Wednesday morning. "We'll see where it goes from there. He's done a tremendous job. We've made a long-term commitment to him. He's earned that. But we also made a commitment to Charlie Lindgren, and he's done a fantastic job over the last two years. So we're going to utilize both guys.""
""Logan Thompson will be in goal for the Capitals; it will be his first game playing under the six-year, $35.1 million contract extension he signed in January. The 28-year-old now makes $5.85 million per season, which makes him one of the better-paid goaltenders in the NHL. Accordingly, Washington is likely to play him more often this season after he rotated last year with Charlie Lindgren.""
The Washington Capitals begin the 2025-26 season Wednesday night at Capital One Arena against the Boston Bruins at 7:30 p.m. on TNT. Logan Thompson will start in goal in his first game under a six-year, $35.1 million extension signed in January and now earns $5.85 million per season; Washington is likely to play him more often after last season's rotation with Charlie Lindgren. Coach Spencer Carbery stated a long-term commitment to Thompson while also affirming confidence in Lindgren and plans to utilize both goaltenders. Justin Sourdif is the only newcomer and is expected to debut at fourth-line right wing. The projected forward and defense pairings were announced.
