Metro Notes: Thompson, Seeler, Rust

October 10, 2024 at 7:27 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain Leave a Comment

The Washington Capitals won’t start their regular season until this Saturday giving their new goaltender plenty of time to return. Tom Gulitti of the NHL relayed a note from head coach Spencer Carbery that goaltender Logan Thompson is expected back at practice tomorrow after being away from the team for personal reasons.

The Capitals acquired Thompson this past offseason from the Vegas Golden Knights for a pair of third-round picks. It was an odd move at the time given how close Vegas’ is to the cap for the 2024-25 season. Thompson is on the last year of a three-year, $2.3MM contract signed with the Golden Knights in 2022 with a $767K cap hit. Still, it makes some sense for Vegas to get something for a netminder who surely would have left in unrestricted free agency next summer.

Washington is still riding high on Charlie Lindgren’s breakout season last year but should he falter; they have a reliable backup in Thompson. There’s been some injury concern in the past but he still owns a 56-32-11 record in 95 starts with a .912 save percentage, a 2.67 goals-against average, and a Stanley Cup ring.

Other Metro notes:

  • It doesn’t appear defenseman Nick Seeler will be ready for the Philadelphia Flyers’ season opener tomorrow with Charlie O’Connor of PHLY Sports reporting he was the only member of the active roster not to practice today. Multiple outlets indicated that Seeler is dealing with a minor lower-body ailment and veteran defenseman Erik Johnson will play in his stead. Although the Flyers still have six healthy defensemen on the roster, expect a call-up tomorrow as the team starts their year on a Western Conference road trip.
  • The Pittsburgh Penguins will again be without forward Bryan Rust as they take on the Detroit Red Wings for their second game of the year (X Link). Rust has been dealing with a lower-body injury dating back to training camp and currently resides on the team’s injured reserve. He should return soon; however, as Rust has been practicing with the team in a non-contact jersey.
