As (mostly) expected, both Tom Wilson and Logan Thompson have turned strong first-half performances into spots on Team Canada’s Olympic roster, and will head to Milan next month to play for gold!
Here’s Vogs on Wilson and Thompson:
The 31-year-old Wilson is in his 13th NHL season, and he leads the Capitals with 19 goals, 37 points, seven power-play goals, 0.97 points per game and 101 hits. Wilson also leads all Washington forwards with an average of 19:38 in ice time per game, the highest single-season figure of his career.
This season, among goaltenders with 20 or more games played, Thompson ranks third in save pct.
