When Washington Capitals goalie Logan Thompson was left off Team Canada for last season's 4 Nations Face-Off, he was not thrilled. St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington, yes, the same Jordan Binnington who tried to sneak off the puck after Alex Ovechkin scored his 900th career goal against him on Wednesday night, backboned Canada to the 4 Nations championship over Team USA in overtime last February.
This season, the NHL will shut down in February for the Olympics, and Thompson is expected to be in the mix for a roster spot along with Binnington and Adin Hill of the San Jose Sharks.
